(Book Review)
“Empowering Yourself” is an Ivy-league MBA in a book. “Empowering Yourself” is an excellent source of information on how the real game is played. This is a book that needs to be read twice. The first time you read Coleman’s work, you will feel helpless, angry, and even have the desire to revolt against the status quo. The first reading really motivates you to either change the system or merely give up even trying to play. On the second pass, you really get a feel for success. Coleman is merely providing the reader with the design for success in the world we live in. It is up to the reader to decide whether it is worth going through with these plans. The analogy which I get from this book lies in the similarities between the “Rules of the Game” and the laws which govern gravity. We have all had the desire to fly, unbounded by the earth, flying free as a bird. But to do so, we would have to suspend the laws of gravity. As much as we revolt against physics, the laws of gravity will not be broken by man. Neither will the power structure, which we currently live under, (at least not in our lifetime). So it is the readers choice to learn to fly by man-made methods, become a modern day Don Quixote and fight the windmills of societies power structure, or be content to travel the earth by foot. This is a must read for all those who want to fly and are willing to pay the price.

Harvey Coleman hit the nail on the head with this little book. There is no excuse for hitting the ceiling (glass or otherwise) after reading the book – PROVIDED that one is willing to pay the price for the height. Mr. Coleman makes it clear what the price is for attaining each level. The reader will recognize herself, and her friends, bosses and coworkers in his pages. It’s not difficult at all to see who is going to make the big time – and who isn’t!

Harvey Coleman is absolutely on the mark…the insights and candor found in this book are at times chilling. Mr. Coleman hits the nail on the head, and this book should become a part of the
“corporate player’s” library.
