I really liked all the case studies backing up the ideas presented. I did find it difficult to handle the author's description of the pain he suffered as a result of being severely burned And the pain caused by the treatment he received in the hospital.
Simon Jones is my favorite narrator and he brought his charm and wry humor to the narrative with great success. It was very enjoyable!!

Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles?Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever.

This book helped me to change my perspective on my possessions. As a recent widow, I find myself surrounded by things that aren't mine but I can't part with. This book offers a kind and wise way to honor these items and discard them so that I feel I can improve my surroundings without feeling stymied buy guilt and grief.

The solution in each case was a focus on customer experience, the most powerful - and misunderstood - element of corporate strategy today. Customer experience is, quite simply, how your customers perceive their every interaction with your company. It’s a fundamental business driver. Here’s proof: over a recent five-year period during which the S&P 500 was flat, a stock portfolio of customer experience leaders grew 22 percent.

This book has very useful information delivered in a disappointing robotic manner. I'm going to look into the other recommended resources!
