Looking for a laugh after a hard day of corporate takeovers? Seuss-isms for Success is chock full of clever quips on topics from micromanagement to market speculation. Didn't know Dr. Seuss wrote about the business world, did you? You'll be surprised at just how well his simple rhymes have adapted. In this pocket-sized hardcover, perfect for tucking into a desk drawer, you're sure to find a quick comeback for any naysayer, like "if I wait long enough, if I'm patient and cool, who knows what I'll catch in McElligot's pool." Just right for a recent MBA or graduate, these Seussisms will keep you smiling no matter how irritated you are with your boss. --Jill Lightner

 great gift June 26, 2009
Oday Lundberg (Salt Lake, UT USA)
I am a Seuss fan but a skeptic. This was the best little book ever. I gave it as a gift to two very divrese graduates, both said they would read it often. I ended up buying one of my own. When your down it lifts you!
 Not worth the money December 18, 2007
J. Klose (PA)
I was astounded when the book arrived. It fits in the palm of my hand and is thinner then some of the MP3 players on the market today. Although true to Seuss, the content was disappointing and I found the entries a far stretch at times to fit in to 'success' tips. If you want tips for success, purchase Seuss' "Oh the places you'll go" - That book is worth the money.
Great book for teachers January 3, 2007

My daughter is a new teacher and loves all Dr. Seuss books.
Good old doctor seuss February 3, 2003

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was given this clever little book for my birthday last year (a gentle hint, perhaps, to get me on the right path?), and while I can't imagine paying [$$$] for it, that's about the only criticism I can dredge up. Anything by the good doctor is brilliant, of course. Anything he touches is magic. And we will always laugh.Highly recommended.
Seuss-like Fun for the Workplace! May 18, 2001
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is marvelous and is both fun and educational in Seuss's classic rhyming style! It only left me wondering where the real "Grinch" or the corporate "Once-ler" really were among all the rhyming advice? Well, I finally found lots of those true-to-life "Grinch" and "Once-ler" like characters in the hilarious, educational and insightful satire, "MANAGEMENT BY VICE"!! With short, sharp verses, easy-to-read prose and a uniquely candid directness it addresses many important issues in both the R&D and corporate/managerial worlds! My sincere recommendation for MBA students and those struggling in the corporate mill is to memorize "Seuss-ism's for Success", yet never to forget the wise lessons in "Management by Vice" for they will help you avoid the tougher workplace pitfalls and make the changes that count and lead to greatly improved management/employee relations!
