Classic Wisdom for the Professional Life (another book review)


Everyone needs a place they can turn to for inspiration and a resource for inspiring others Classic Wisdom for the Professional Life is that resource. This little black (very dark blue) book pulls no punches and offers no fluff just plenty of nuggets of wisdom and wit from many notable individuals from all walks of life, past and present.

From the first page to the last the quotes contained are applicable at almost any time and any point in one’s life. Most books that host a collection of quotes tend to be a gathering of the same quotes from the same people that were in all the other books that make a book of quotes look like all the other books of quotes.

Editor Bryan Curtis took the time to ensure that Classic Wisdom for the Professional Life was not like all the other books that contain a gathering of quotations. From the first page the people that the quotes are attributed to are, in some cases, the last person anyone would expect to say what they said. Those are the kind of quotations that keep the reader turning the page to see who said what. Above all, having a copy of Classic Wisdom for the Professional Life within reach is essential in these rough and turbulent times.
