Critic reviews

"In no small part, what American corporations have become is what Peters has encouraged them to be." (The New Yorker)

What is the next creative business idea for YOU?

Great business isn't just about improving what you did yesterday. It's about coming up with new ideas, and understanding that there are numerous models for building success. I found this book an incredible source of ideas to try on, argue with, and agree with.

The presentation is strong and clear. My only problem is that some mornings my commute isn't long enough and I have to sit in the parking garage for 10 minutes to find a good stopping point.

This book is NOT about hard data and careful research. It is about understanding that CREATIVITY is a big part of business. This is Peter's view of what the next general step in business creativity is, and how to be a part of it.

HIGHLY recommended.

Motivation & Education !

Fantastic narration and content! Provides endless examples and ideas which motivate you to "Re-imagine" your personal and business life. Tom's delivery and passion holds your attention, demands introspection and actually made me look forward to my next long road trips listening to his theories and ideas.

Dead-on and Relevant

Tom Peters, far from the typical rah-rah business advice guru, is both grounded and passionate, practical and visionary. The segments on leadership, globalization, and personal service were solid on target. And he did a great job reading his book.

One of the best I've heard!

Rarely do I find myself agreeing whole-heartedly with so much of what an author has to say. The author's style is very conversational and the points he makes are extremely relevant in today's business world. If only more companies realized that the only way they are going to survive and thrive in the next 10 years is by completely "re-imagining" their organizations!

As a business development consultant, I have found a tremendous amount of useful information in this book. As with most great books, it's not that every idea the author talks about is "rocket science", in fact I have tried to convey some of the same ideas this author talks about to some of my clients with varying results. Now I will have a book to refer them to in order to back up what I've been trying to tell them.

The Rollercoaster

I found the book to be long and a rollercoaster ride. Tom Peter's tries to impart ideas and philosophy on you that take you outside the normal thinking patterns. He also opens up avenues in this book that I would not have thought of. I find it is very helpful in thinking of strategies that could excel projects and improve business.

Brainfood!

I use audio books to stimulate the brain on the daily commute, ReImagine is one of the most stimulating I?ve heard. I found my self constantly having to pause the audio because my brain was working on an application for the last key point that Tom Peters had made. It has instilled a determination not to fall back into thinking in ?traditional? business terms and structures, a determination to apply at least some of the resulting ideas to my own business. The narration is captivating too, if a little brash for the sensitive UK listener. The passion, belief and emotion comes across brilliantly.

Refreshing and direct

This is a very refreshing, albeit dense, account of Peters'modern management beliefs. I found every chapter to contain information that forced me to question status quo, whether I be a member of top management or a worker bee. This is a great book for anyone interested in looking at things through a new lense.

Brilliant

A must read for anyone in business (any type of business). It is read by the author, which adds to the impact. It is honest, eye opening and really make you think. Listen to this book and it WILL change the way your business markets its product and services and if it does not you will soon be out of business.

Outstanding

Gives you an entirely new way to look at business, marketing, your job, and more. I think his predictions for the future are a little extreme, but it sure beats a book that rehashes alot of existing knowledge (like so many out there do). Even if you listen to this book and come away disagreeing with Peters' point of view on things, you will still have learned something from the dsiagreement. Well worth the download.

Worth your time

This book underlines (forcefully) many of the key ingredients of success in contemporary business. Simply the best audio book I have ever purchased.
