Having balanced my career on the training vendor and corporate learning side of the desk, many items from this book ring true. While it felt exaggerated at times, overall, this is a useful resource for anyone in the learning profession.
Best quotes: "Training continues to be the last of the large unmanaged expenses inside corporations" (p. 104); "We must resist the pressure or desire to choose what's new and interesting over that which is appropriate and useful. We must trust that our clients [internal or external] will prefer solutions that work to solutions that sizzle" (p. 212).

Great book for toddlers. It helps with naming foods counting and explaining nature. Besides the educational aspect it's great fun with its cutout holes. A must for every toddler's bookcase.
