LOTS OF LISTS, TELLS MUCH IN A FEW WORDS, WITH STYLE!, April 26 2005
By Gerry Stern "Stern's Management Review Online" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Business Lunchatations (Hardcover)
Dietl, a highly successful, self-made entrepreneur, shares his experiences and insights about achieving success through smart networking, making the most of personal connections, the art of self-promotion (involving the cultivation of a unique personality and style), and doing many other things right. The book is witty, to-the-point, and tells plenty of personal stories, but its prime value lies in such lists as "20 rules for self-promotion," "6 ways to improve your listening skills," "14 networking tips," and many more such in-a-nutshell take-aways. Dietl loves checklists, but advises that "the best" are those "you create yourself" for they are tailored to your problems. The underlying theme appears to be "You can change yourself and your life" and "you can do more than you do now." (p. 31) The CD includes conversations with Jack Welch, Warren Buffett, Bill O'Reilly and others. It's a fast read, that tells much in few words.

A Joke, Aug 16 2005
By J. Daily - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Business Lunchatations (Hardcover)
Bo's way of doing business may work in NYC, but in the rest of the country you would be laughed out of the room. What a joke. Some of his great advice is to: wear a fine watch(it's a sign of success),Clean. Shower daily. Use deoderant and cologne. I cant believe I wasted my money on this one.

Bo is a Blow Hard; Material is So-So Hard, Jun 23 2005
By AsiaVoss "www.dandyprice.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Business Lunchatations (Hardcover)
I have probably read 50 books on self-improvement, sales success and other books that talk about building wealth and succeeding in life.I listen to Imus every morning, and shut it off whenever Bo comes on.
However, when I received a copy of his book for Father's Day (my mother is an Imus fan, also, and read a good review on the book) I promised myself I would keep an open mind, pretend that the Bo Dietl on 'Imus' is just a 'character', and give the book a thorough and objective read.
Here is my thorough and objective critique:
Bo's book poorly written and edited. Filled with self-serving examples of his career, as well as gratuitous explitives, Bo spends an entire book telling you how great he is.
Jack Welch, Lee Iaccoca, Michael Eisner, Michael Ovitz...hell, even Donald Trump!...didn't come off as brash, self-centered, egotistical and poorly spoken as Bo does in his book.
His material..when boiled down to just 1 or 2 summary sentences...is accurate, but it's already appeared in 100 books on the subject. Bo brings nothing new to the subject, unless you take an interest in how much he spends on clothes.
"Lunchatations" was a term created by a successful person who claims he couldn't always remember the right term to use in certain situations, so he created his own vocabulary. Read the 'Glossary' at the end of his book and then take 2 Maalox. Pig Latin is more creative and interesting than Bo-itations.
Listmania!
