Book Reviews of If I Knew Then What I Know Now

Book Review: I read jastraub's review....get a life.
Summary: 5 Stars

My father and Mr. Edler were friends for over 25 years. Unfortunately, Mr. Edler passed away recently. It was a loss.

I am writing this not just to set jastraub straight, as anyone who is capable of thinking rationally will see that jastraub's opinion is lacking of qualification. While it is possible he or she is very knowledgable about business there is no evidence of this in his or her comments.

I must admit I am biased regarding any of the books or projects that Mr. Edler was a part of. Not just because I knew him, but my father is one of the contributors to the book. I remember when I got a copy of the book before it was released. I was a 25-year-old police officer at the time. I have learned a great deal from "If" over the years. I keep one copy in my bedroom and a copy as a reader in my guest bathroom. While I cannot speak for Mr. Edler I believe that he wrote this book to help people in not only their career, but in life. If I am not mistaken all of his works were of a similar nature. I strongly recommend "Through the Valley", also by Mr. Edler. This is an excellent book for anyone, especially those involved in fields or situations where there is unexpected death (hospitals, law enforcement, etc.)

Thank you for reading my review. Take care.

Summary of If I Knew Then What I Know Now

What do you wish you had known 25 years ago? In this collection, contributors ranging from Pat Riley to Rabbi Harold S. Kushner respond to this simple question with stubborn practicality, sage philosophy, and often, surprising profundity. Their advice can save years of hard learning--and make the next 25 years better than ever.
For more than a decade, advertising executive Richard Edler collected pithy bits of wisdom about business and life from leaders in a variety of fields. If I Knew Then What I Know Now: CEOs and Other Smart Executives Share Wisdom They Wish They'd Been Told 25 Years Ago presents the resultant advice and support in a series of easily digestible nuggets from notables like Senator Orrin Hatch, Rabbi Harold Kushner, Peter Ueberroth and a host of lesser-known authorities.
