Average Rating: Rating: - Be Present Fish! is a deceptively thin but surprisingly inspiring book. I found it easy to relate to and engaging because the main characters, Lonnie and Mary Jane, were down-to-earth people in realistic circumstances. There weren't any business buzzwords or corporate strategies to make it feel contrived. While claiming that there are 4 things necessary to change the way we look at our work, I found one major theme prevailed for me: bring 100% involvement to our jobs - no matter what we do. The book talks about "choosing your attitude" and "playing" at work, but it was clear to me that these seem to happen naturally when you don't resist your work and become totally involved in it "being present" as Lonnie describes it. I believe these philosophies go far beyond work and apply to every area of one's life. If we are totally engaged in any activity, especially the one we spend most of our lives doing, learning to be present is easy when you simply do what you have to do. The best book I have ever read on the subject of being present is Working on Yourself Doesn't Work by Ariel and Shya Kane. While Fish! is a fun way to learn how to enjoy even mundane tasks, it only scratches the surface compared to what Working On Yourself Doesn't Work will teach you about truly being present and satisfied in all aspects of your life. Both books are simple, fun reads and can help you discover magic in your life. Rating: - Accessing Your Greatness Fish is a fabulous book about people making a difference. The front cover describes the book as "A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results," but it is not a "how to book" that gives the reader instructions on ways to improve themselves. Rather, it tells a story about a woman who discovers that she is responsible for the quality of her life and then begins to invest in ways to make it fun, satisfying, successful and inspiring. Through visiting and speaking with employees of the world famous Pike Place Fish market, Mary Jane, the central character in this book, discovers four principles that make the fish market a workplace where people express their passion, enthusiasm, teamwork and brilliance. It's written simply and accessibly. While the story centers on a corporate operations office, anyone in any type of work can find value reading this book. Another book for anyone interested in being present and engaged in his or her life and contributing to others is Working on Yourself Doesn't Work, by Ariel and Shya Kane. Like Fish, it is a simple, direct and powerful book that talks about how to experience and express greatness in all aspects of life. Rating: - JUMP RIGHT IN to the wisdom of this book and GO FISH! FISH! should be required reading for anyone who has a business, works in a business, wants to start a business -- or anyone at all who wants fun, practical, easy-to-implement ways to make joy a part of their day to day life. It's a short, sweet yet meaningful tale that reads as smooth as banana pudding! You'll most certainly want to pick it up again and re-read it every few months or so just to be reminded that any workplace or living space can be transformed into a happy and fulfilling haven that inspires everyone to be their most creative, productive and vital. The tale of FISH! illustrates how making the choice to bring genuine joy to our work and day-to-day life can bring about the freedom which enables us to face each day head-on with a sense of humor (instead of choosing to spend each precious family dinnertime boring and burdening those at the table with the same office horror stories night after night, month after month-- year after year! ...) Any business that wants success, longevity, and truly happy, productive employees should without a doubt jump right into the wisdom of this book and Go FISH!
