The Six Fundamentals of Success: The Rules for Getting It Right For Yourself and Your Organization ASIN: 0385510861 Binding: Hardcover List price: $19.95 USD Amazon price: $14.56 USD

The Six Fundamentals of Success is divided into six chapters with several short sub-sections in each chapter. The sub-sections have titles such as:

• Your boss isn't your mother
• Know your industry
• Candor counts
• Avoid arrogance--nobody does it alone

Each chapter contains what I would consider to be good tips and information, however as the title of the book says, they are "fundamentals" and not much more. If I could sum the whole book up in a sentence, it would be: "Work hard, be honest, take initiative and treat people with respect." Each chapters gives specifics, but I think that if you follow those four rules you'll do most of what this book recommends naturally.

My impression was that it's a book geared mostly towards employees who would benefit from basic tips on how to climb the corporate ladder. The advice is good, but most will probably find it too basic unless this is their first business book. I would recommend reading a book like How To Win Friends and Influence People or The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People instead.
