Title: This book should be read multiple times!!!!
Review: This book will change your life. I have used the information in this book to change my life and those around me. The ideas and information presented about the relationship between behaviors and consequence is game changing. Its application is useful in any scenario. With it I have been able to change my life, my workplace, and even my mother who has custody of my nieces life. When you understand what drives a behavior and how you can make the behavior you desire consistent you have true and powerful knowledge. If you are a parent, manager, supervisor, business owner, or anyone who wants or need to know how to better communicate and create consistent behavior or results this book is for you. Read it then re-read it and take notes both times. You wont regret it!

Title: A good read for supervisors looking to become better supervisors
Review: Very interesting read. Not finished with it yet and will re-read it. Was given a hard copy by my company (as I am classified as a supervisor) and purchased the Kindle version so I wouldn't have to carry the hard copy around. The author talks about the different types of reinforcement and how doing nothing can cause as much damage as doing the wrong thing. Look forward to finishing and learning from this book. I would also recommend'Turn the Ship Around'. It would be a companion to this one when your finished. And if you like me 'Exercise Change' is a good book on what it takes to make changes in your life.

Title: "Asonishing Power of Positive Reinforcement"
Review: Astonishing power of positive reinforcement is like saying, "Astonishing power of GRAVITY."'Jeeze! Just think of it! If you want something to drop to the floor, all you have to do is hold it above, let go, and the 'astonishing power' of gravity does everything for you! Who would have thunk it?'I believe my observation here says more about the status of the average business manager than the simplicity of the author.I guess if we had just discovered how a wheel works, we'd call it "Astonishing." But we should be beyond that. Golly!This book is definitely worth the read. I give it "Five Stars."

Title: Fantastic
Review: I thought this information would be widely disseminated by now since the book is some years old, but it remains as timely and relevant as ever. An extremely useful guide to the opportunities and pitfalls of behavior change.
