 The Choice is Yours June 20, 2008

In a simple easy to read story "Fish" is about igniting passion into your work environment that can spill over into all aspects of your life. The "Fish Philosophy" is based on a few simple ideas that can transform your daily grind of a nine to five workday into an enriching, easy and yes, even a fun time at the office.
I work at a large financial firm and currently am heading a team that is focused on creating a new work procedure that has never been applied in our office previously. The creative start up process can be challenging but the team we have assembled for the work is up to the challenge and eager to be a part of something that will have an impact on the firm overall. I am so glad I read "Fish" in that I can share with my team the insights I've learned so that our work together can be productive, successful and yes here it is again...fun.
If you found "Fish" to be inspiring and enlightening, I highly recommend reading any of Ariel and Shya Kane's books called "Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment", "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: A Book About Instantaneous Transformation" or "How To Create a Magical Relationship." All of the Kane's books impart insights and ways into living a life that is meaningful, satisfying and joyful.
Working in a place where you smile often...how cool is that? Can you imagine living a life where you smile often? It's definitely possible.
Fish - the video and now book May 1, 2008
For those that have seen the video the book will not add anything. However for managers to re-visit some of their core beliefs about why they manage and what they want to achieve this book is a good refresher.
Simple easy one night read - and then pass it on.
Good core messages, watch out for that corn! January 18, 2007

A good book with good core messages. These messages are generally about how to motivate a team to create a high performace team. The book contains various easy to implement ideas about getting more performance from your team. The book is written in a storybook style rather than textboook style, making it very easy (and quick) to read. The book is corny in places. Many people you work with each day will have read this book - only by reading it yourself will you be able to understand what they are talking about when they talk about the book.
 Yet another way for managers to make the staff's life a living hell. January 3, 2007
8 out of 15 found this review helpful
Yes, that's right, the way to improve your staff's morale is to treat them like a bunch of 12 year olds... "You chose your attitude" is simply a way for management to blame disgruntled employees for their own poor management. The suggestion to make your work "FUN", when some work that needs doing simply ISN'T "FUN", is the most patronising thing I've ever heard.
This stuff is dangerous in the hands of impressionable and immature people such as management!
 Hmmmm........... July 27, 2006

Ok, good ideas, great concepts of how workplaces should be and ways to achieve the desired morale boost, but its knee deep in cheese. Great piles of brie, mountains of gouda. I nearly vomited at its corny story, almost choked on the poetry bit. Please someone condense it down to a 20 page wonder.
