A few months ago I read The Power of Nice by these authors, Linda Thaler and Robin Koval.    When I saw this new book they had written, I decided to give it a shot.  Very much like The Power of Nice this book is short, to the point and well written.

At a time when many people are saying don't sweat the small stuff, the message of this book is that the small stuff can make a huge difference.  My favorite concept from the book was that we should go the extra inch.  In business and in our personal lives, the extra inch can help us be successful.

I also enjoyed reading about small talk.  the fact is that in our information age, many of us have lost the art of small talk.  The result is that 13% of Americans suffer from social phobia.

I have to admit that my motivation for reading a book like this is to give me illustrations and material for speaking to businesses.  Even though that was my motivation, I think many others of you could benefit from reading The Power of Small.
