What People are Saying About This

Tom Peters

“It’s so juvenile to throw around hyperbolic terms such as ‘life-changing,’s but there’s no other way to describe The Little Book of Talent. I was avidly trying new things within the first half hour and haven’t stopped since. Brilliant. And yes: life-changing.”
—Tom Peters, co-author of In Search of Excellence
