About this listen

Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval have moved to the top of the advertising industry by following a simple but powerful philosophy: it pays to be nice. While so many companies encourage a dog-eat-dog mentality, The Kaplan Thaler Group has succeeded through chocolate and flowers.

In The Power of Nice, through their own experiences and the stories of other people and businesses, they demonstrate why, contrary to conventional wisdom, nice people finish first.

Lacking Research and Needs To Highlight Target Customer

This is a great “feel good” book, but lacks solid research to make a lasting impact. Also, it is written by female entrepreneurs for female entrepreneurs. I am completely cool with that, but having something on the cover or description page would be nice.

Many great lessons on simply being nice.

Loved it! So many lessons from this short book, of how far one can get to in life, by simply being nice, and examples are given of how to be nice even in negative situations and how to turn them in your favor.

Excellent!

I almost didn't buy this based on the user review that the book slams Republicans and Creationists. After thinking twice, I ended up buying the book and listening twice. This is not a book about politics, but about ways to be nice and the ideas are good. I found it interesting, helpful, and engaging as I start a business. If you'll have a problem with a couple small, minor comments about Republicans, I suggest you don't get the book. Just know that you'll miss out on the many good ideas in this book. Be nice!

Mother, you were right....

I heard about this book from a talk given by Cynthia Marshall chief executive officer of the Dallas Mavericks. I was so intrigued by a story she told about the power of being nice and then she recommended this book. I'm so glad I read this book. Do get the audible version! Being nice is a currency that grows with interest in favor of those who least expected it. This book unveils the power of being nice in the business world where often its use is frowned upon. I'm so incredibly grateful that this book was given to the world. We possess the power to be nice and if you don't think so, read this book. Thank you!

Nice

I really liked the Power of Nce. it is good to know that there is possibly more to being nice than just better self esteem for ourselves.
