question:
Not for the solo lawyer; not about marketing, except for the author . I was disappointed by this book.  I am a solo litigation attorney, and I read the book to get ideas on marketing.  It gave me some ideas.  Perhaps the most valuable idea was to focus more on customer service; Dahut has an interesting discussion about exactly what that means and how we can do it better.  By and large, however, this is a book by and for big firm attorneys.  It is about big firm angst and how it can be combated by hiring experts such as Dahut to do extensive consulting work for your firm.  Dahut does not acknowledge, and does not care, that most attorneys are solos or work in small firms, and that we have very different issues than agonizing over whether we have lost our soul by conforming to much to dead firm culture
answer:
NEG


question:
No much change . Although this book has been written almost 50 years ago it still provides basic insight into our behavior in the modern world. 'Money, prestige and power are the main incentives today for the largest section of our population - that which is employed'. This probably holds still today whereas some of the major concerns of the fifties are not concerning people any more.  A book to read and think about
answer:
POS


question:
Something Entirely Different . This collection of short stories was given to me by a good friend. With one or two exceptions, it concerns women confronting decisions - from the most mundane to the fairly serious. What sets these stories apart, in addition to the fine writing style, are the decisions made by these women. They are never politically correct or predictable. At times the reader may find the direction taken by the author to be controversial, even uncomfortable. I know I asked myself during several stories, "Now why the heck would she do that?" I suspect that was the point being made by the author and what is the ultimate joy of the book - to force the reader to accept each character as independent of any predispositions by the reader.    The author uses sarcasm and more conventional humor where the average reader is least likely to expect it. She takes simple stories and sends them in unexpected directions. My favorite story in the collection was "I Thought You Said You Love Me", perhaps because it was the most conventional. That said, "Model Job" was just as enjoyable, but most unconventional.    Treat yourself to something different and read "Inside Out." The author is preparing to publish a volume of poetry, which should be a treat indeed!
answer:

POS
