This Book Will Challenge You!! Five Stars
I had a long list of books I promised myself I would read upon finishing school. One was 'The Corporate Rat Race'. This book has challenged me in many ways - from both a career and a personal perspective. There is much to be taken from this book that applies to more than just corporate life. I am glad that I read it.
Wish that all employers and employed took the principles in this book to heart, Five Stars
A friend recommended The Corporate Rat Race to me and at first blush I admit I was not particularly interested in the book's subject matter. Within the first couple of paragraphs Paul had me hooked and I had a hard time putting it down. The Corporate Rat Race is an informative, quick and fun (did I just say 'fun' about a book found in the business section?!) read about the evolution of corporate America and business ethics in today's world. The principles discussed here are as another reviewer put it, 'easy to understand and apply.' This sets The Corporate Rat Race apart from its competitors in the same genre. I highly recommend
A Captivating and Practical Book, Five Stars
Mr. Ulasien took a very practical and applicable view point of a hot topic among Corporate America workers today. Not only did the title catch my attention, but the book totally captivated me. It was obvious that the author spent many hours researching the evolution of Corporate America, and how the rat race came to be. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about his and others' experiences, and I personally related to several scenarios. This is must read book! (review from New York, New York)
Rat race review, Four Stars
Paul did an excellent job in breaking down the corporate challenges facing today's worker in an easy to understand format. The author's use of examples and real world scenarios made it easy for the reader to relate and gave you a feeling of being there. Having come from corporate America I now have a better understanding of the "why" things have become as they are. I have recommended this book to friends and co-workers and it has been well received. Looking forward to his next book. (review from Kansas)
To Be or Not to Be a Rat Five Stars
Based on his many years of experience in the Corporate Rat Race, Paul Ulasien has provided practical and timely advice on how to survive in today's workforce. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and cannot decide which part of it I like best: the trip down "history lane", reading the real-life examples and recognizing myself and co-workers, or the "words of wisdom" and humor interjected throughout. This book is a must for anyone who wants to bring renewed attention to their personal situation and make sound decisions on how to survive in Corporate America!(review from Kansas)
Simple rules for a complex world, Five Stars
Mr. Ulasien has given us a common-sense guide for life in or out of the corporate world. He doesn't just tell us what to do when our "cheese" moves but who has the cheese, why, and when to consider changing from swiss to cheddar. This book will cause a bit on introspection but perhaps that is what the author was aiming for in the first place. (review from Kansas)
An Eye Opening Book , Five Stars
This book is an awesome read. Very well written, easy to read, easy to understand and gives an insight as to what we are up against in the rat race. I'm too young to remember many of the things that the author refers to in the book about how the 70s and 80s had such an impact on the modern day corporate rat, but after reading this book, I can certainly relate to what is written. (review from Reston, VA)
A Must Read for Anyone Running the Rat Race, Five Stars
The Corporate Rat Race: The Rats Are Winning provides and unique and introspective look at the state of corporate America (good and/or bad) and how it came to its present state. As one who never paid much attention to or was bored by history classes, I was mesmerized by the author's journey from the beginnings of the corporate rat race up to and through today and how it all ties together. This alone is worth the read, but then the book takes one into what the rat race is, and how to survive and/or thrive in it. The author writes this book at a level that is easy to understand and apply. Where was this book when I was first entering the Rat Race??? Everyone should read this book it just may help you to make sense of it all! (review from Topeka, KS)
