Last December, it was my good fortune to be invited to 800-CEO-READ’s Pow Wow for business authors. While attending the event held at Chicago’s funky and fun Catalyst Ranch, I met Phil Gerbyshak, author of 10 Ways to Make it Great! and blogger at Make it Great! and B5 Media’s Slacker Manager.

Phil is the kind of guy you can’t miss. Exuberant, knowledgeable, and generous are three words that come to mind when describing him. After reading 10 Ways to Make It Great I can add a fourth: wise.

This book is a brief, practical workbook that will help guide its readers to a productive and satisfying life. Phil provides questions and suggestions that help readers zero in on the factors everyone should consider. If you follow the journey he takes you on, you will indeed make your life a great one. I say this because the issues he tackles are those that relate to satisfying our universal human needs for respect, recognition, belonging, autonomy, personal growth and meaning.

Phil’s book is ideal for individuals who want to reflect on their journey in life, whether the journey is nearer the beginning or a mid-course correction. Small groups of friends would benefit from reading and discussing together the material in 10 Ways to Make it Great! For those who purchase Phil’s book, I would recommend you contact him via one of his blogs to share your thoughts about your journey and how the issues in Phil’s book relate to you. The interaction with him will be an added bonus.
