This book was a very light read and made a lot of good points about how attitude affects productivity. A definite must-have for any trainer, training manager, or team leader.

  FISH! A book of opportunity
Review created: 18/10/09
by:

I purchased this book to potentially present it to my corporate office and consider the philosophy. After reading the book, and realizing it's simplistic view, I felt it would be very appropriate. It's engaging. Throughout the book, I kept shaking my head knowing that the topic I was reading at that moment would undoubtedly touch someone.

This is a must have for anyone whose work involves people. This book provides a simple reminder that we all have the power to change our day and the outlook we take on each day.

Anyone stuck in a "rut" needs to read this book.

  FISH! is an amazing morale booster!
Review created: 10/05/08

I love FISH! and the entire premise behind the philosophy. I use the philosophy of PLAY! - BE THERE! - MAKE THEIR DAY! - and - CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE! with the students in my building. We've also created a recognition program with it. I think everyone should read it!!!!!!! This copy was actually purchased for my school counseling intern.

A quick and easy way to get people thinking about how to make the workplace a good place to be instead of a "toxic dump". Not laborious reading.

I use FISH! as a motivational tool for my staff. I always give one out every time we have a new hire. It's a very realistic story and easily applicable to every day business whether your in the for profit or not for profit industry. It's an easy 60 to 70 minute read and is very enjoyable.

This is a great motivational book that inspires the reader to adapt the Fish Philosophy as a part of their lives. The text is easy to read and understand for any reader, and short enough to read in one day. The exciting ideas and principles make the reader eager to be a part of the work environment Fish promotes and creates a desire for one to be a part of the team.

Whether working for someone or for yourself, new to the environment or seasoned, coorporate business or start up business, this book offers opportunity for every work place and situation to embrace the ideas and create a fun and exciting place to work and be a part of.

I wrote a senior thesis for my management degree around this book. This book is one of those books that everyone could benefit from. If you are in a management position this book should be a required read. One of the more influential books i have ever read.

  Another Easy Read
Review created: 30/03/07
by:

I thought this was a great-insigtful-short-easy reading book. Kept my interest. Great Motivation and ideas on boosting morale and improving the "bottom line" that could be applied to the office, home, parenting. Only Con would be the suggested retail price of $19.95, but I bought mine for a lot less so my price was worth it. Suposedly there is a companion movie, I'd love to see that.

  What Everyone Should Know About Business
Review created: 19/03/07
by:

This is a management book, but it is also a customer service book, and a lot more. After reading this book I came to some hard realizations about how I was running my business, and made a concerted effort to improve that business, primarily by changing how I related to my customers. It made a huge difference in not only my bottom line, but my own physical and emotional well-being as well.

Fish is a great motivator. The information helps you to explore ways to make your work environment, but I found it helpful for other environments, more positive and fun.
