Great Read about a Publishing Powerhouse! October 8, 2008
If you enjoy reading autobiographies and learning from the journey of others you will enjoy Ms. Black's story. I absolutely enjoyed reading about Cathie Black's journey as I am also in the magazine publishing industry with Millionaire Blueprints Magazine. I read this to learn her story and get some insights on the behind the scenes operations of a New York Publishing house. I particularly enjoyed her stories about the other big players in the media and publishing industry. Reading her book prompted me to order Al Neuharth's book, CONFESSIONS OF AN SOB, which I also thoroughly enjoyed. Both are great reads whether you are an entrepreneur or in a corporate environment!
Useful for grads + existing workers September 4, 2008
great book, simple to understand with great examples. The book is written in plain english with many real life applications. A must have for all grads or workers.
Commonsense Advice at any Level September 2, 2008
Cathie has written a bible for all would be success stories. I'll be keeping this for my children, grandchildren, great great....to learn from.
 Mediocre Advice August 24, 2008
I was really disappointed by this book. Ms. Black's "words of wisdom" are nothing more than basic common sense tidbits for the work world. I've worked in magazine publishing for 20 years, and I was expecting an insider's view of the industry. Instead, I read page after page of mediocre advice. I was also turned off by Ms. Black's tendency to name drop and pat herself on the back over and over again. I agree that with some other readers that this is really a memoir masquerading as how-to advice. There's nothing special about Ms. Black's advice. In fact, I was shocked that someone who has climbed to the top of an extremely competitive industry had so little to say. If you're looking for a light read, you might enjoy this book. But if you're looking for real insights and rules for success, check this book out from your local library--but don't waste your own money on it.
