Working People Reviews

Rezension von Wolfgang von Armansperg

Das Buch ist leicht zu lesen und enthält für jede Person hilfreiche Unterstützung nicht nur im Beruf, bei Bewerbung und Kündigung. Das Buch zeugt von großer Erfahrung und macht deutlich, dass häufig erst ein Fehlverhalten den eigentlich richtigen Weg aufgezeigt... Read More

Review by Rev. Monsignor Walter Barrett, Jr.

I found the author’s writing to be delightful, insightful, engaging, and at times humorous. For whatever reason, I found the work identifiable, although, I have never worked for the government! The author is a humble soul and very gifted as... Read More

Review by Prof. J. Decker Butzner

Thanks so much for producing the beautiful illustrated book. My father would be so proud of your accomplishments with the book and your career. It contains valuable information for, not only a novice lawyer, but anyone embarking on a new... Read More

Review by Floyd DesChamps

The graphics are very good. They are ‘off the chain.’ There are also a lot of good, real-life examples, some very moving. And I really liked the Rules. I plan to send copies of the book to my younger relatives.

Rezension von Dr. Thomas Dickert

Ich finde, dass dem Author damit ein sehr guter Beitrag vor allem für junge Leute, die gerade in den Beruf einsteigen oder eingestiegen sind, gelungen ist. Durch die Mischung aus abstrakten Regeln, persönlichen Erinnerungen / Begebenheiten und fiktiven Dialogen liest... Read More

Review by Steve Gray

Very enjoyable, and as I expected, I wish I had a copy back when I started at the SEC [U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission]. The negotiation chapter, and Rules 5, 8, [11], and 12, in particular, were outstanding.

Review by Dr. Johannes K. Gäbel, J.D. (Cornell)

I had a chance to read through the English and German versions of the book. It is a very interesting and novel approach to an enduring subject matter. I do not know whether this combination of practical advice and autobiography... Read More

Review by Ursula Peters Hoffmann, M.D.

The book’s presentation is humorously instructive and thorough without causing an inferiority complex (as is often the case in European education ‘von oben herab’)… We also enjoyed [Liv Senghor’s] drawings; these add warmth and optimism.

Rezension von Dr. Wieland Horn, Rechtsanwalt i.R.

Ich habe mir…die deutsche Version vorgenommen und mich regelrecht festgebissen. Da steckt viel an Lebenserfahrung und Weisheit drin, wie man es so gedrängt und so gut lesbar sonst nicht findet; ich kann nur gratulieren zu der Fülle an Gedanken und... Read More

Review by Yen-Hsiang Huang

This is an exceptional work: the writing style is concise, precise, and no-nonsense. The author spent plenty of time refining and polishing this book, and I can say that it reminded me of another favorite book of mine: The Art... Read More

Review by Judit Kepecs

First and foremost, the book makes for highly enjoyable reading. Not only is it informative, but it is also written in a vivid style that makes you want to read on. The personal anecdotes, and most importantly, the humour, make... Read More

Review by Dr. Karin E. M. (Beck) Kopp, LL.M. (Berkeley 2005)

The book is incredibly impressive. Great illustrations!

Review by Ed Leahy

This is a practical book for practical people. And it is an important book for young people. The writing is direct and to the point. I really liked the illustrations. Also the 24 Rules are a good way to present... Read More

Review by Prof. Cynthia Lee

I’ve read … [the] book and it is really terrific. Everything [the author] says is spot on (the same sorts of things I tell my students) and it’s a really easy read. Clearly written. Not at all legal-ease. Great advice... Read More

Review by John Olson

The author and illustrator have created a terrific piece of work, a clear, well written, and beautifully designed handbook on getting employed, staying employed, and advancing and succeeding in the job. I really like Chapter Three, The Calhoun-Senghor Rules. And,... Read More

Review by Katie Shannon

I genuinely enjoyed reading this book. I would have liked to have had it in college. Instead, I had to learn a lot of things the hard way. I got emotional reading some of the chapters. Other gave me inspiration.... Read More

Review by Joseph Smallhoover

I found the book an easy, pleasant, and helpful read, and pretty much right on all the key points all the way through.

Review by Vera Strobel

[The] book was very interesting and highly relevant for me, it is excellent advice for my career. I especially liked the examples from [the author’s] own career and the examples of CVs, letters of application and elevator pitches. I also... Read More
