Brief review: This book mostly talks about people who think differently about customer satisfaction and finding solution. These people find solutions and implement things which are generally not in the rule books but it delights the most imporant person in the whole chain, the customer. Seth Goddin is a great writer and this book is quite famous. Still, it probably misses the punch required to make it a great read. Some excellent ideas and examples though.

Brief review: A masterpiece by Rolf Dobelli. In our every day lives we take so many decisions, small and big. A lot of such decisions are based on our cognitive biases. Though we think we are rational in our actions, the book will prove otherwise. It is much more common that we overestimate our knowledge than that we underestimate it. Is Harvard a good school? What is 'sunk cost fallacy'? Are you suffering from 'confirmation bias'? Are news anchors better than chauffeurs? What is action bias? Are you a victim of 'effort justification'? You are bound to find examples which will seem like yours. It's a small book with 99 nuggets. Don't hurry up to read this. Read slowly and sink in with every chapter. It will be worth it. A very interesting read for all.

Brief review: The book is about how passion in work and life can turn ordinary into extraordinary. It’s about an employee of US Post named Fred. The book talks about what we can learn from Fred, who is lively, service oriented and customer friendly. A short and crisp read.

Brief review: Paulo Coelho gives life lessons in this book using the synonym 'The warrior of light'. Some key messages in the book - you do not need to be a saint. You do not need endless patience or humility. The one who remains absorbed in the struggle of life can also be said to have renounced the fruit of victory. When we least expect, a new door opens. A good book for beginners.
