 Good Title By John Maxwell
Some readers may find "There Is No Such Thing As Business Ethics" a bit simplistic. Personally, I find that I need to be occasionally reminded that the bottom line profit margin is not necessarily the bottom line if you have to steal, cheat, lie, and abuse people along the way. Indeed, many revelations have come out the past several years of business leaders, politicians, athletes, and other people who have compromised integrity on the altar of success.
Among the important points covered by Maxwell include:
1. 3 reasons we make unethical choices.
2. Shortcuts seldom pay off in the long run.
3. 6 ways people want to be treated.
4. 5 factors in compromising ethics.
5. 5 ways to invest in people.
6. Comparison of people who "go for the gold" and people who "go for the Golden Rule".
7. 4 ways to apply the Golden Rule.
Again, some readers may find Maxwell's book naive and simplistic and out of touch with reality.
If so, consider this:
1. Eventually, the unethical will be caught.
2. We are all accountable to God (I can see now that some folks really have a problem with that statement!).
Read, enjoy, and practice the Golden Rule.

 Rules to live by
This books was recommended by my Business Ethics professor and it was awesome. The author is so right. There isn't Business Ethics, but just Ethics that we should all live by but quite honestly don't. If more people lived ethically the world wouldn't be in the mess it is in right now.
Great service
I received the goods so fast that I left it in the box for a week thinking that it was something else I rdered (a gift) that I was not in a hurry to open, only to be told by my son that it was "books for Amazon". Honestly great service!!
One Amazing Book!
This is one amazing book! A very quick read that is fun and exciting, hard to put down. If you've ever questioned someones ethics or my have questions about your own, this book helps you delve into 'The Golden Rule'. It asks the question 'What are ethics and how are they used to govern our actions in every day life?' I learned a lot thru this book and it helped me to re-direct my own life.
 Save your money and go practice the Golden Rule
This more I think about this book, the more thought provoking it becomes. First, I find it amazing that anyone could take a belief that's widely known (practically a cliche), add nothing of substance to it, and actually write a book about it. Second, I find it even more amazing that it took 134 pages to make the Golden Rule applicable to business. Third, and perhaps the most amazing of all, is the fact that I actually spent my own hard earned money on this book. What amazing insights did I think would be uncovered?
I'll save you $9.72 (+s/h) and the 45 minutes it'll take you to read this. Here goes... Unless you were raised by wolves, it's pretty likely you've heard of the Golden Rule. Ok, now think about how this rule can be applied to all of your business dealings. That's it - you got it!
Whew! Now that you have an extra $9.72 in your pocket and 45 minutes of free time, go practice that Golden Rule by treating your kids/grandkids/neighbors to some ice cream.
