A VERY DISTINGUISHED AND DECORATED AUTHOR THAT IS WRITING THIS BOOK AT AGE 92. AMAZING! THE BOOK ITSELF IS MADE OF A HIGH-QUALITY PAPER STOCK AND MAKES FOR A NICE HARD COVER BOOK ON YOUR BOOKSHELF. THE PROBLEM IS THERE IS NOT MUCH VALUE IN THE BOOK AS FAR AS MAKING YOUR MEETINGS BETTER. HE DESCRIBES ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THOSE MEETINGS AND DESCRIBES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INDIVIDUAL CULPRITS FOR THOSE TERRIBLE MEETINGS BUT DOES NOT OFFER ANY SOLUTIONS. THE BEST CHAPTER WAS ABOUT THE PAINFUL SPEAKING HABITS OF PRESENTERS.

Having this book on the shelf beside my desk serves as notice to all who would waste my time in needless meetings - meetings which resemble self-indulgent gab fests. This book serves notice that I will launch these tips on the unsuspectingly busy-mongers.
