I had to read this for my Human Resources class and it helped me realize how motivated my co workers are. I can easily relate to the philosophy of Fish

It was highly recommended that I read this for work back when I was a retail general manager. I despise the entire self-help genre so it's hard for me to buy in to the messaging. The embrace of workplace culture as a path to fulfilment seems like a distraction from things that actually matter like family, friends, and community. Which we often end up sacrificing to worship 'good' leadership. It all seems very forced and disingenuous to me.

This book was fine. Two men writing the perspective of a single mom was a terrible mistake, and I LOLed at parts that I wasn’t supposed to laugh at (so, so much cheese), but I get it. Have more fun at work.
I need to come up with some good principles, put them in a parable and make lots of money selling my ideas someday.

Definitely cheesy in it's presentation but he message is genuine and I think it's effective. We use these very philosophies at my work and I read this book on their recommendation. I've seen these practices in use and they work exactly the way they describe. The effects are legit!

This book definitely convicted at some points (being present...) and affirmed at other points (choose your attitude). I love this concept and love the idea of a workplace exhibiting all of these qualities!

My manager asked her leadership team to read this. The framing story is about as dumb and unrealistic a tale as I've ever read, but the overall theme is pretty good (though it would have seemed more trenchant if I'd read it earlier in my career). At least this book is blessedly short, and I was able to expense it.
