Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)One thing that our world does not encourage very well is stopping and listening -- stopping and listening to each other, stopping and listening to life around us, or stopping and listening even to ourselves.

Lawyers Jokes, Quotes And Anecdotes Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My book is so dog-eared it is almost twice as thick as the original!

The 50th Law Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Robert Greene has created a powerful book that will likely be misunderstood by most or discounted by many because of the co-author and his past, this will be a big mistake.
