“Yes, change happens, and adaptation (and acceptance) of the fact of change can lead to the happiness of new possibilities rather than the grumpiness of victimhood. This book is definitely overrated, yet it does its job: very quick read, a nice allegory (extended metaphor) to keep in mind, and starts the juices flowing. My only problem is why only hardback? An inexpensive paperback would sell like hotcakes on a cold day...”
“This book could benefit from a reorganization, however it is the definitive set of rules, and no "abridged" rules will do.”
“This book is in the form of a novel. Certainly the context is dated, but it actually makes the concepts easier to understand. Powerful tool for the classroom. Highly recommended to continue with "It's Not Luck" which is basically the sequel (with the same characters).”
“This is the recommended version because it has the complete Giles translation (with interspersed notes) as well as the Giles translation without notes. Sadly, the same information about the very different versions appears to show up on Shelfari, while different translations and approaches yield dramatically different texts.”
