Summary: Refers to audio version
Review: Great books. On the audio, however, I miss"Chairman" Tom's almost manaical ranting (sometimes I listento his audiotapes wondering how close he came to cardiac arrest during recording because of passionate "overexhortion".) While I am sure the reader is an accomplished actor/narrator -- hearing the words "dude" "dudette" pronounced in a Shakespearian tone just loses something for me.

Summary: Wake up to the opportunities of the new economy
Review: I honestly had some trouble with the book version of this. It read like the transcription of a speech, difficult to follow as the author tried to caputure the emotion and his "in your face" attitude.The solution, listen to the CD. The actual speech of the text is very compelling and motivating. I had to keep a notpad and a pen handy in the car to jot down all the ideas and to do's that struck me when listening to this. The new economy gives you the chance to rethink your approach to work, your projects and your company. This will wake you up to the new economy.

Summary: Brand You! Professional Services! Projects! Wow!
Review: I've read the Project50 book and started to listen to the BrandYou50 material on the tape set. What can I say?
Wow! Liberating! Stretch and flex and enlarge your thinking beyond your paradigms to wonder how to avoid being boxed in by any paradigm at all. Innovate. Seek. Ask. Knock. Learn. Share. Invent. Create. Extend. Re-build. Re-define. Wow! These materials confidently assert the arrival of the reinvention of work and lead the way to establishing in it your own creative place as an independent agent of innovation and change. I wonder at times if Tom Peters doesn't recklessly recommend some bold moves that needlessly threaten whatever security you might enjoy. At the same time, I wonder if I'll regret not running faster and farther with the knowledge, insights, and ideas that Tom Peters provides and making the most of engaging the sweeping changes and opportunities that Tom describes. Follow up on the TTD's (things to do). Whether you implement these materials cautiously or agressively, it's liberating stuff. You'll find many ideas that you can apply today with good and fun results. You'll find a new way of thinking that you'll be likely to apply for the rest of your life. Consider many points of view, for sure. However, know that you'll be enriched if you hear and respond to Tom's POV. There may be no corner of the world itself that is left untouched by the creative innovation and liberation that Tom describes as it works itself out in years to come. The tape set might have been more Wow! if Tom had been the reader himself. However Sam Tsoutsouvas is not without emotion and understanding of the material himself. A few four letter words are included which I would not recommend to my children. However, rather than being viewed as gratuitous, they can be viewed as mild and adding to the message of revolution in the way we work and its ramifications at the grass roots level.

Summary: Where is Tom Peters?
Review: Let's unite and refuse to buy this audiobook until Tom Peters himself reads it. The content of the reinventing work series is excellent and very personal, by reading the book one can feel that the recommendations come straight from Peters' gut. Unfortunatelly, having some one else exclaiming, screaming, and crying for him sounds extremely fake. I bought this audiobook and returned it the very next day. Save yourself the hassle. Peters did an amazing job reading his older book "Wow - in the search of excellence." Where is he now???

Summary: Sam Tsoutsouvas (Narrator)
Review: There is no imitation for Tom Peters. Having someone else read his book out loud is like someone reading Maya Angelo's peotry - flat, uninspired, and ineffective.
