This book is liberating and full of hot stuff. I can understand why some people would not like it. I loved it, but it seems to me that those who do not like this book are scared by what the author is saying.
His ideas are strong, and new, and those who don’t agree with him might have something to hide. Maybe they belong to the establishment.

I liked this book because it made me think. What’s the point of buying a book if it does not make you think. This one I had to read slow because it just is full of ideas that made me realise that I am a simple thinker. I wish I could think that the author. He is sharp, and even though you might not agree with him, he says that his job is to question what we take forgranted. I liked the book. Good read.

I had lost faith in trying to find solutions to the problems of work politics and a miserable work environment. Now I can see that all the stupid things we do at work should not be the way. In fact, nader points to some real solutions. Its exciting.

The author must be dying to say, “I told you so!” to all those people who could not understand him. Now his work is clear given what we have seen in the recent corporate collapses. Everything he has written about must have been darned new back then, and now his predictions are coming true. This guy is on the money. He has a few more view about life and work, and we’ll have to wait a few more years to see if he is spot on again. A great read, with plenty of ideas on how we can get off our back side and make things happen ethically. His website is good too at losefriends.com
