This book has been a great reading experience. Thanks to the author and the publisher for bringing this book to life.

This one was a little slow but it was interesting. It had some good stuff in it but took longer than it should have to get through it. I kept getting distracted from it

Author: Dr. Curtis Odom

Summary:
In the following pages, you will find over two decades of professional insights, lessons learned, and personal experiences as captured by a student in my class who gave me the greatest gift of my career: a transcript of me putting my entire career's worth of context into the content of academic lectures taught over a fall semester in a college classroom. This engaged student distilled the insights heard in what I said-as his professor-into simple statements that most impacted him. Clear proof that words matter.


Personal Review:
As someone who considers the idea of being an adjunct faculty member some day, I really wanted to read this one. It was interesting to hear the perspectives and learn about the experiences in the classroom. It shows you that not only does the teacher teach, but the teacher learns too!

Happy Reading!

This book is short and to the point, and while a lot of "self-help" books leave me feeling like I'm a failure. This book doesn't.
Odom's focus is often on knowing what you don't want to do and being authentic.

This is the kind of book I want to purchase for those going out into the world because there is a lot of good advice in this book and it doesn't spend a whole lot of time padding it out. Meaning that it is easy to digest and take away key points.

I was provided a free copy of this text by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. While this was a fun book, most of it was redundant of other texts of the same type. The internet is full of these types of meme-worthy lessons so the text falls flat.

This kind of reads as a love story to the student's Professor - or at least an ode. At first I was confused about what I was going to get, but the quotes itself were somewhat thought provoking, interesting and some were useful. Other reviews say some were not very original, and yes, that's the case, but seeing them again didn't hurt. Overall, I would recommend this book to people that enjoy quotes/ inspirational short ideas.

A strange book: an introduction to the author and the author's professor, then the quotes that his professor said ; many of which can found on the internet.
Nothing mind-blowing or ground-breaking here: nothing to explain what the quote meant to the author, the context the quote was originally said, or what the quote inspired the author to do - just the quote. One after another, page after page.

I expected far more and was disappointed with this book.

Interesting, short book with quotes that come from a professor in business organization. After the foreword, acknowledgements etc. that take up the first 10% of the book I finished it pretty quickly.

There were some great quotes in there, but in the end nothing groundbreaking.

This is a very short book of quotes by the author's business school professor. The professor who also served in the Navy taught a very popular class on organizational behaviour and the author shares some great insights from the class. The quotes are about business, workplace relationships and life.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley.
