REVIEWS
Tas’s book is a really accessible read, reminiscent of the type of journey that Bill Bryson takes you on – conversational and easy to absorb, yet still interesting and educational. I normally wouldn’t be tempted to pick up a book of quotes but thankfully this is so much more than that.
Charlotte Vlahavas, Senior Retention Manager, The Daily Telegraph
In his elegantly and eloquently written third book, Tas once again displays his storytelling virtuosity to give you tools and evidence that you can rip off and claim as your own.
James Max, TalkRADIO Presenter, columnist for the Financial Times and The Spectator, and business strategy advisor
A veritable feast of memorable quotes and aphorisms, dissected, contextualized and woven into a nifty little guide to dropping pearls of well-informed insight into conversation to make you seem cleverer than you really are.
Louise Halliday, Director of External Affairs, Royal Albert Hall

Dong Mingzhu & Gree
China's economic rise and influence have been one of the most significant developments in the global economy of recent times. A driving force behind this expansion has been the private entrepreneurs and companies of China, some of which have literally redefined the economic and business landscape, both inside and outside of China. Dong Mingzhu is one such entrepreneur. Gree Electric is one of the powerhouses of the air-conditioning industry, and owes its success to the entrepreneurial and management tenacity of Dong. As a young widow, aged 36, she travelled south and began work at Gree as an ordinary salesperson. Four years later, in 1994, she became head of sales. By 1996, she was deputy president, and by 2001, president of Gree. During this time, Dong challenged and transformed industry norms through her innovations in sales, service and employee policies. This is the story of one of China's most inspiring and innovative business leaders.
