Smarter than the average book  |
This is one of those storytelling books in which the idea is for the reader to learn some really useful stuff without getting hung up on the learning because they are so engrossed in the story.And it sure does work. Everyone who has read "Fish!" knows the lessons the book is teaching at the conscious level, because they are written down in black and white. What no one has commented on in a review, so far as I can see, is that the story is an incredibly succinct introduction to the whole subject of emotional intelligence - recognising your own emotions and other peoples, motivation, leadership, you name it and its in there. In my opinion this is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Get it and judge for yourself that Im right.

Since reading this book and Fish Tales, I have bought 8 copies for my team at work, divided ourselves into 3 teams (Baracuda, Red Snapper and Gold Fish. We live the philosophy everyday!! It is a great book that should be read by everyone, it impacts your worklife and personal life. It simplifies things and makes you think.

great principles if you look beyond the corn  |
The first principle we learn in Fish! is Choose Your Attitude. How appropriate, since what you get from this book completely depends on the attitude you choose when reading it.The four principles of Choose Your Attitude, Play, Make Their Day, and Be Present are solid and have been proven at the real life Pike Place Fish in Seattle (the video is magnificent). No one can poke holes in the validity of these ideas. If you are looking to simply glean some excellent ways to help you love the work you do, then this book is for you. However, it may be difficult to swallow the story that is used to illustrate these principles. If you approach this book with a skeptical eye, you may be disappointed. The fictional team in this story seems to come together and open their hearts to each other much too quickly and easily. For me, the corny factor dropped Fish! from five stars down to four. My advice? Get this book anyway. Choose your attitude. Look beyond the corny facets to find and apply the valuable nuggets. They are there.
