Title: Soundview Executive Book Summaries
Post by: Trim on May 19, 2008, 10:19:30 PM
I received a brochure for this today:

www.summary.com

The featured book/summary was: (http://www.summary.com/isroot/Soundview/Soundview/Books/28A-SE.gif)

I can't remember if it was actually revealed that RP read Jack Welch books or if it was just an exaggeration stemming from the whole "2 books a week" thing. 

These summaries look like a hell of a deal.  You can read them a lot faster than the book, they're 1/3 the price, and I'm guessing you can get more talking points than just reading the inside flaps of the real book.

Ron read the actual book in two hours, 12 minutes.

i heard he simply touched the cover, closed his eyes, and the words instantly morphed to his brain.

Oh Ronald is a HUGE consumer of the managment book summaries....especially Jack Welch.  He tosses around Jeffrey Immelt quotes as if they were campaign buttons.
