Summary: Highly Recommended!
Review: Even when he's not at his best, as is the case in The Pursuit of Wow!, Tom Peters is head-and-shoulders above any other management guru. Peters is all about simplicity and excitement, both in his language and in his message. His basic mantra never changes: The workplace is becoming ever more competitive, so you need to make yourself and your company stand out. Do this by viewing your work as a series of critical projects and injecting limitless enthusiasm into each one. In delivering this consistent message, Peters tosses out scores of common-sense lines that are so insightful that you just have to jot them down. You'll find quite a few such keepers in this book, but you won't find too much of an overriding theme. Instead, Peters presents a string of 210 observations that flow together loosely. But that's enough for us, and we [...] recommend this motivational work to all readers. Wow!

Summary: Author does a very poor job of reading the book.
Review: First let me say I have not read the paperback edition of the book. Mr. Peter's reading of the book is poor at best. His speech pattern is very annoying and makes it difficult to concentrate on the content. I would not recommend the audio version of this publication.

Summary: Tom Peters is enthralled with his own "zaniness."
Review: First read this in early 95, and reread it again this xmas time, i still LOVE it! Absolutely good book, UPLIFTING and FULLY emotion pack, nothing less! I end up underlining, putting comments, dog-earing all the way tru the book. Will even steal some material for my next seminar! There are plenty of COMMON ( and lots of UNCOMMON) advices there, all are useful, even that you can not apply all, but even a good list of one section will worth more that your time (money is too rediculous to compare!) reading it. Buy and Read, and if you have it already, find and re read it, most are still stand TALL in the coming milleinum. amen, tanadi santoso.

Summary: Soul, Passion and a Good Swift Kick In the...
Review: From the book's outward apperarance to its inner guts, Tom Peters challenges today's thinking and status quo. Once again, Tom sends a shockwave through the ways we're running our businesses and living our lives.
Packed with 210 concise tips, stories and quips, Peters shows hard evidence that packing passion, soul, dreams, free speech (and a little of his own foul language) can turn a life and a business into a success.
Simply put, don't miss this one!

Summary: Tom Peters is enthralled with his own "zaniness."
Review: Here's Tom Peters' advice: hire "zany" people who don't know how to dress professionally (because they have a lot of energy); throw out every idea, concept, and system that has ever WORKED for your firm (because you don't want to grow stale); and forget any and all conventional measures of success (because they're wrong, and Tom Peters is right). We are not in business to make money or even to provide a great product/service --we're in business to be different at all costs (proof: Peters pooh-pooh's McDonald's as "McOrdinary's"). Although some of his ideas might prove useful to some readers, I found myself increasingly annoyed with Peters' own infatuation with himself ("aren't I crazy? aren't I just rocking your world?"). His tone conveys the sense that he'll say anything to be shocking--hardly a good motivation for writing a business book.

Summary: Daily dose...
Review: I listen to a little of this tape EVERY DAY on my way to and from work... I've probably listened to the entire program at least 15 times over the last 3 months, and it STILL motivates me and gets me thinking and excited every day. Tom Peters doesn't sugar-coat anything, and although many feel he's opinionatad, his opinions are usually right-on and well supported, either by research or by experience. If you want to start changing your life, or just want to motivate yourself to continue with changes you've already made, then this tape is for you. It's made a difference in my life, and it's made me hungry to read more books and listen to more tapes by Tom Peters.

Summary: Ex-cellent . . .
Review: It's not quite the rebirth of business, but it tries to be - and comes close. 214-odd observations from the renowned Tom Peters about work, life, entrepreneurship, management, and how the world as we know it is changing FAST. Plenty of thought-provoking comments that pull everywhere from Bob Dylan to Glide Memorial Church. Analysis of companies as diverse as De-Mar Plumbing and the formerly-no-real-estate Verifone. Round table interviews with executives from around America - for me, this was the most valuable part. And a few ideas that may not be workable in your situation. But The Pursuit Of WOW! certainly makes you laugh, cringe, shout, curse, and think about how you can redo your job, product, life, and whatnot so that you, and those around you, can look and say "WOW!"
