Summary: New Age Mantra!!!!!!! Again
Review: Attitude is the key throughout this book. It is a good read for everyone as it stresses on one of the important aspects of work life, Attitude. But beyond that there are other issues like functional and management skills which are equally important in todays business. The contents are similer to many of the new age books that you find in the market. One of the things that stands out in this book is that the book is very simple and easy to read. See if you can get it in a local library before buying it.

Summary: Throw this one back!
Review: I'm staggered at the vacuity of a lot of these highly revered business , uh, books...Just read FISH! today for the first time, and dang if I wasn't amazed at just how vacuous and [bad] this story was! We have Mary Jane, the manager who's conveniently enough lost her husband, who has been sent up to clean up a Toxic Waste Dump on the third floor, where all the transactions are processed for her bank. The work is staggeringly dull, and the people there are stuck in a rut. ... Problem is, they have a bad attitude about doing this boring work ... since their ubermanager is a complete jerk, they are underpaid and underchallenged. You'd think that this would be an optimal time to maybe introduce a little challenge into their lives, or perhaps find some way of maybe treating them a little better. But that's not the going lesson in Management Theory nowadays. Instead, you gotta teach them to play. ... What's amazing to me is that this book could have been very interesting if the authors had decided to actually show real day-to-day events at Pike's Market, and then analyze what made the fish business so successful, profile real workers, and actually use a real situation to illustrate the FISH! principles. you get a story filled with stereotypes, silliness, and a ridiculous, unbelievable plotline, in which Mary Jane, the manager, marries the fishmonger with nary even a trace of romance to make even that small part of the story believable.

Summary: Simply Incredible
Review: I have referred this book to my friends and clients many times since I read it over a year ago. After reading this, clients have enthusiastically related to me how it transformed their attitudes and made them feel powerful. If you have not read it you MUST. It is a great gift for anyone.

Summary: Changing your behavior will help you to improve!!!!!
Review: I read fish one year ago in a plane, I found the book eazy to read and inspirational, but I believe that not all the problems of a company, could be solved just changing your personal actitude, what about management skills!!!!!. Personally I belive that management skills are the most important in the problem solving scene than a changing of behavior by itself, and of course keep a good actitud in the job is fundamental for the company success.
In Sum Fish! give you a diferent approach to a dificult situation. Be positive!!!!!!.

Summary: Catch The Big Fish, Too!
Review: Stephen C. Lundin and et al (I'm glad I'm not Mr. et al) caught, and passed on to me, a few small fish -- be enthusiastic, make someone's day, and be there for everyone -- that can feed millions. I recommend this little book to you. I then went on from there to catch the big fish -- really understanding what leadership is -- by reading what I was told is the premier (and easiest to understand) book on the foundations of leadership. You should catch the big fish, too.
Also recommended: "West Point: Character Leadership Education, A Book Distilled From Thomas Jefferson's Own Readings And Writings" by Norman Thomas Remick, to catch the big fish.

Summary: Uh . . .
Review: The Third Floor of the office building is considered a "Toxic Energy Dump" until a new manager teaches them they can choose their attitute. And then everything is great and they love their jobs. Deep, no?

Summary: FISH
Review: A great quick read that inspired me when I needed it most. Made a difference in my daily work life, and I have a fish on my desk now to remind me that I truely choose the attitude that I bring to work. As a manager, this book taught me that my attitude as a leader definately rubs off on co-workers. Definately worth my money!

Summary: splish splash for my new fishy affirmation!
Review: First those darling rodents helped me with my cheese 'tude in "Who Moved My Cheese." Now I have these charming 2 year old fish thank for improving moral and boosting results. Or, boosting morale and improving results! Have it your way, I am used to my cheese being moved, so I don't mind the correction!
Three glorious hurrahs for the fish. I am much more highly motivated and boosted, in a results-oriented way, through fish-management technics than I am by that cat-o-nine!

Summary: Dear God, it'scome to this
Review: Here's a few ideas for all we can have fun in the workplace: We cap CEO salaries so they're not making 400 times what the average worker is making. We get a decent national health care system so Americans have a choice besides enslaving themselves to corporations. We give all Americans a decent amount of vacation. We apply labor laws across the board, ending the 60 to 70 hour work week that so many of us now routinely endure. We stop shipping our skilled jobs overseas. That's how we can all have fun in the workplace. See, here's the problem - if you're a manager who forced this nonsense on your employees you probably didn't bother to ask them if they wanted a toy fish. If they wanted a "sand box." It probably never even occured to you to step up to one of your employees and ask "how would you like to be humiliated and treated like a small child? How would you like to be forced to go home after 9 awful hours and bake cookies for everyone in the office to avoid being labeled 'not a team player'?" Because that's what "living the fish! philosophy" really means. None of it even occured to you, and that's the problem. From some particularly cruel act of fate you, who think that handing out children's toys to adults is treating them with respect, have somehow become a cog in the ever-turning wheels of power in this country. Somehow, people with the emotinal awareness of 2 year olds and the intellectual debth of sand crabs have taken control, and the rest of us are being forced to suffer for it. Anything which can be written out on a 3x5 card is not a philosophy. Anything which involves handing out a stuffed fish is not respect.

Summary: I loved it...
Review: Ahh.. It's a great book. It's making me honestly consider going to Seatelle to see this place in action. I loved it. What to say? It's very light, as most of the other reviews have said - but it has solid and good evidence to back up what it proclaims. It is a remarkable way to boost morale - because it boosted mine without even doing anything but reading it. There is a little love story included too, which is not necessary, but it adds a nice touch I suppose. I think it's a great book to give to those at your workplace, if you are not entirely happy with the enthusiasm that they have. This really should do the trick. There is also another book - Fish Tales, which gives more examples of companies who have used the Fish theory - which might help you out too. It's broken down into 4 parts - Choose your attitude
Who do you want to be when you work? The choice is yours...
Play
How can you have more fun and create more energy? THe choice is again yours... Make their day
How can you engage your customers in a way that makes their day? The choice is yours... Be present
What can you do about being present for co-workers and your customers? The choice is yours... It's a light read - but it puts a nice smile on your face. Happy Reading!
