Summary: waste of money
Review: Rather pour. I think one should find those lessons info for free on the Web sources on project management.
Every lessons has a little story half of it is completely irrelevant for the subject discussed.
E.g. "The one thing I did know about Susan was she was a germ freak. She kept little moist toweletts in her desk drawer to wipe off the phone and doornobes periodically, and she also washed her hands more than anyone else I know." p.25
"Ashley was married and had two children. She often volunteered at her kid's school and also helped out once a month at their neighbourhood church. She was wearing dark pants with a plain red turtleneck and red framed glasses..." p. 13
and so on about half of page for each lesson, so you should expect more than 25 pages of such ladies novels in the 190 pages of text.
No pictures, graphs, tables and any illustrative materials. Just a plain text. Several times it's hard to get the main idea of the lesson.
Can recommend only as an additional to some serious book on project management. It's like a conversation with a sentimental old project manageк with a cup of tea.

Review: This is not your typical project management book. Tom and Jeff Mochal have created a masterpiece that is a creative approach to teaching the basics of project management. "Lessons in Project Management" is not only entertaining, but informative. The authors use stories to bring important lessons to life and make them relevent, because they occur on most project most of the time. Every project manager, regardless of whether they are new to project management or seasoned veterans, needs to know how to deal with them. The lessons are all mapped to the Ten Step methodology developed by the authors. The book comes with a bonus CD-ROM packed with extras. I recommend it as a great addition to any project office library as a training aid.
