Common Sense Wisdom, Volume II

De: Pepper de Callier

Narrado por: Pepper de Callier

Written resumes are only good for opening doors, not closing deals. The unwritten resume is a real-time and deeply memorable depiction of you. It is a collection of impressions you leave behind with everyone who encounters you - in person, or on the phone. It is what triggers action - good or bad - because it represents who you really are to those with whom you interact.

This book is about attitude, contextual intelligence, communication skills, passion, self-confidence, humility, honesty, caring, ability to execute, and creating your future.

An Audiobook True to Its Title

Common Sense Wisdom is among the top audiobooks I have listened to - it is succinct, thoroughly interesting and practical.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the book's structured storyline and HR practitioner's view of how to best represent one's "unwritten resume" in an honest, yet effective way. The author uses anecdotes saliently to enliven and illustrate his point, including an example of hubris - an episode when the firm Saatchi and Saatchi commissioned an "high flying" poem just before missing the market and "tanking".

The best book series that I have read, and now listened to, in years.

Pepper de Callier's books speak to a variety of audiences. No matter where you are at in your career or life in general, his wisdom can benefit you.

As a graduate student, I really appreciated and enjoyed all of Pepper's wisdom and feel that it has had a huge positive impact on me. There are books that claim, and fail, to provide something, there are books that deliver but fall short of making an impact, and then there are books that absolutely change you and leave you so much better off than before you encountered them. Pepper's book series is easily the latter. Common Sense Wisdom, Volume II, along with his other books, will be a constant source of wisdom throughout the rest of my life.
