Tom Oliver has shared his extraordinary secrets with Bono, Richard Branson, the Dalai Lama, and Deepak Chopra. Now he shares them with you.

Are you ready to lose your self-doubt and use the tools you already have to turn your wildest dreams into tangible reality? This book is about to put them all at your fingertips. In this extraordinary new road map for success, Tom Oliver--a motivational self-made entrepreneur and coach to many of the world’s most notable CEOs, philanthropists, and entertainers--shows you how to dramatically alter your life path. Nothing Is Impossible is a proven seven-step whole-brain plan anyone can use to improve his or her business, life, and career from the man Deepak Chopra calls "an extraordinary leader."

Have you ever struggled with success?

Have you ever felt that your strengths were left untapped--your true talents unrecognized?

Do you have a different plan for yourself from the one others might imagine for you?

As Oliver explains, what really distinguishes people who get things done and realize their dreams from those who don't is that they don't allow their self-doubts to stop them--they don't cultivate what the Buddha called the "habit of doubt." This book dispels that doubt, freeing you to set and meet the personal and professional goals most people only dream about.

Clearly, step by step, with personal anecdotes from some of the world’s most influential leaders and his own remarkable life, Oliver presents a practical playbook for anyone who wants to change his or her life and future. It also features comprehensive exercises and abundant resources. In just a few minutes a day, you'll learn how to:

• Define your personal destination
• Break free from limiting beliefs
• Build a first-class worldwide network from scratch
• Create extraordinary success doing what you love
• Embody self-confidence and charisma wherever you go
• Turn failure into victory

Whether you're a business professional, athlete, entrepreneur, artist, or anyone else, after reading and implementing the wisdom of Nothing Is Impossible you'll be able to transcend the boundaries of what today's world thinks is possible.

"This book is full of practical examples, success stories, insights, exercises, and tools to show you that nothing is impossible when it comes to your realizing your own unique personal vision." -- JEFFREY SKOLL, first president of eBay, founder and chairman of the Skoll Group, the Skoll Foundation, and Participant Media

"In this book, Tom Oliver shows how anyone from any background anywhere can become the best he or she can be, realize his or her true potential, and get to a place where truly nothing is impossible." -- CHADE-MENG TAN, head, Google Talent Team and author of the New York Times bestseller Search Inside Yourself

"I have been lucky enough to meet and work with many of the world's business leaders, and it's clear that the themes explored within this book are, or should be, at the top of the agenda for any leading company. Tom's ability to shift the way you think makes him an excellent source of inspiration to anyone seeking to stay one step ahead." -- from the Foreword by JEZ FRAMPTON, Global Group CEO, Interbrand

"Tom Oliver's dynamic, creative, and entrepreneurial approach to business and society has had a very positive impact on our students at Manchester Business School. This excellent book is well worth your time." -- PROFESSOR MICHAEL LUGER, Dean, Manchester Business School

"This book highlights the strategies used by individuals who have not just made themselves into success stories as leaders and innovators, but managed to do so in a way that contributes to the wider public good." -- JORDAN RYAN, Assistant Secretary General, the United Nations

Delivers on a Bold Promise
By John Chancellor
It is easy to be skeptical of a book with such a bold title. But Tom Oliver, author of Nothing Is Impossible, delivers on the bold promise. He does not promise that everything will be quick and/or easy. It does promise that if you follow the concepts outlined in this book, you will be able to achieve dreams you thought were impossible.

As you will learn from this book, Mr. Oliver is quite an astonishing, accomplished fellow. He is a musician, singer, keynote speaker, artist, entrepreneur, surfer, philanthropist, leader, and lecturer in an MBA program at Manchester Business School. In addition he founded the World Peace Foundation and The World Peace Festival. What makes this so impressive is he did not grow up in a wealthy household or with significant connections. In his own words, "I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, with a big name or a trust fund." In fact, growing up he had a serious stuttering problem and his "kindergarten teacher and psychologists told him he would be unfit for school." The point of this is not to brag on his accomplishments but to let the reader know that "Nothing is Impossible" - that if Mr. Oliver accomplished so much, the reader can also.

In the book, Mr. Oliver gives seven broad steps to "realizing your true power and maximizing your results." The seven steps are: Define Your Destination; Embrace Yourself; Learn from the Masters; Harness Your Creative Power; Embrace Change; Overcome Your Challenges and Cooperate for Success.

The biggest takeaway for me was the two most important ingredients for success are: Follow your passion and have the courage to take the first small step. If you truly believe in your ambitions/goals and have the courage to pursue them, you can accomplish magic. Another significant lessons is the need for alignment in our business and personal relationship partners. If your visions are not aligned, you will always have problems. Far too many people neglect this bit of advice and create untold suffering in their business and personal lives.

Mr. Oliver writes in a very conversational style. The book is easy to read. Mr. Oliver shares plenty of real life stories that support the concepts and lessons he is teaching. In each chapter there are numerous exercises designed to help the reader implement the concepts. The exercises are generally very short and fairly easy to implement. As Mr. Oliver repeatedly states in the book, the concepts are worthless without action. He constantly advises that the action need not be major. Take the smallest step possible. Just be sure that you do it.

For the most part the lessons are very straightforward. Some do go against conventional wisdom. But it is difficult to argue with his success.

Throughout the book, you will find many references to other valuable resources, You Tube talks, quotes, books and real life examples that will educate and inspire the reader.

There is an amazing amount of material covered in this book. I believe the greatest value can be achieved by reading through the book and then going back and taking things one-step at a time, doing the exercises and implementing the ideas. This is an excellent road map for achieving your dreams. It is a bold promise but if you take things one-step at a time, are passionate about what you are trying to accomplish, bring lots of energy to the process, "Nothing Is Impossible".

I was provided a review copy of this book.

Simple Exercises to Challenge the Status Quo
By Dee Long
We have to admit our skepticism was on full alert as we started reading this book, thinking, oh, yeah, another you can do anything pep talk. But as we progressed through Nothing is Impossible and began doing the simple yet challenging mental exercises outlined by Oliver, we definitely felt our interest, enthusiasm and optimism rising. Oliver befriends the reader by sharing just enough of his own personal struggles and history to offer that encouraging helping hand that is so often missing in today's super competitive business environment. His "Cooperate for Sucess" chapter is among the most important in this book. Because you only need a few minutes to complete each exercise, it's easy to come back to the book on a daily basis to select a page at random and complete that exercise. Although it's impossible to change now what didn't help or nourish us in the past, Tom Oliver makes it possible to understand how our mental state and actions can influence a wide range of possibilites to make a more satisfying future. We still don't agree that "Nothing" is impossible, but Oliver's book sure makes a strong case that you can achieve 99 percent of what your heart really and truly desires.

Realize Your Potential
By Alain B. Burrese
I enjoyed reading "Nothing Is Impossible: 7 Steps to Realize Your True Power and Maximize Your Results" by Tom Oliver because I enjoy reading positive uplifting books on success and achievement. And that is just what this book is, an positive book designed to help the reader succeed and find fulfillment in life.

The author's seven steps include: Define Your Destination, Embrace Yourself, Learn from the Masters, Harness Your Creative Power, Embrace Change, Overcome Your Challenges, and Cooperate for Success. These concepts are not different from those found in many books of this genre, because face it, there aren't any new principles of success, only different ways to present them. And that is what Oliver does, he presents them in his personal unique way. There are many personal examples from the author on his own life and those of successful and famous people he's had opportunities to meet and do business with. Mixed with this are many quotes to help motivate and inspire. (Those that criticize self-help books for all being the same, etc. are often looking for the magic bullet rather than recognizing that all of these books contain the magic bullet for at least someone, and that if you just take one thing and implement it into your life to make your life better, you've gained from reading it.)

Like many books, there are parts of this book that will resonate more strongly with some readers, and different chapters that will better connect with others. But I do feel there is at least a portion of this book that will help just about anyone think bigger and dream to accomplish more. This is especially true for those who enjoy reading business and self-help books to motivate and inspire to greater things. There are gray boxes the recap the important points to remember and many exercises that if done, will undoubtedly help the person doing them find their own path to success. (I'll admit, I did some of the exercises and enjoy where they took me, but others I have left to go back to.)

"Nothing Is Impossible" will help you realize your potential to do more and to do good for the world. Oliver sets an example of an entrepreneurial approach to business and life that is passionate and worthy of following. If you enjoy self-help books, give this one a read, you won't be disappointed.

Like Where's Waldo for Star Wars Geeks
By Greg A. Tirevold
The absolutely byzantine level of detail in these illustrations is remarkable to view in such a large format. Just like how Lucas wanted his vehicles to look "used" and "worn out" for his first 3 films these drawings have plenty of that "lived in" look that draw your eyes over all the little doodads behind the metal skins.

As an engineer I love technical drawings and I really get a kick out of seeing how these fictional craft can have their internals look so "purposeful". The real life technical illustration field is tough enough when working from real objects and so I am impressed by the amount of creativity required to invert so much "how and why" detail. You can see how the form and function were intertwined to give these designs plausible suspension of disbelief. For example, even though there are no shields in our real world, the way the emitters are located and shaped in these drawings causes you to envision how they "work" in an intuitive way. You can see the power conduits feeding them and see how they outline the profile of the ships.

The section at the end of the book where the illustrators show how the drawings go from pencil sketch to painting is fascinating and awe inspiring in this age of overwhelming CGI.

I only had one of the previous cross section books so for me the value of this title was a no-brainer. If you already own the others then it boils down to having them in a single volume and if that is worth it for you.

My only gripe is on the fold out illustrations. They are really almost too wide to allow easy use. I'd rather see the folds be vertical where the two open pages are joined across the top and fold upwards into more of a square. There have been a few books on NASA and spaceflight done this way and the result was better in my opinion because the folded out section supported itself. This landscape style foldout, while allowing a very wide image make the pages flop around more than I'd like for such thin paper.

Must have for all star war fans
By iactuallyboughthistuff
I bought this for kid who loves star wars. My initial hesitation to buy this book was--you mean you draw imaginary mechanical pieces on imaginary ship? I still got it, because it's best to stare at this than weird star wars creatures. This book really draws you inside of these vehicles like no other book. Drawings are fantastic, details upon details and will satisfy all curiosity, will be studied over and over again:)

Details, details, details...
By R. Sardrena
Take one look at the oversized "cross-sections" books on the shelf at the bookstore, and you're likely to move on. Don't; each huge, intricately-detailed drawing is breathtaking. The Herculean labor required for these works is obvious on each page. Illustrators Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore paid their dues for the privilege of working on the project: "We illustrated boring stuff, like plumbing and water pumps..." Jenssen recalled ruefully. The result? You find yourself staring deeper and deeper into the layers of detail on each design. It rewards you with additional insights with each viewing.

By the way, the Cross-Sections books were originally sold separately for Episodes I-III and IV-VI respectively. Buying the Complete Cross-Sections compendium here is a better buy.

WOW! Another briliiant YA paranormal from an epic author!
By Timiosanthos
Can I just say WOW! This is fast become my most favorite series, and Patti Larsen is definitely one of the best new finds of this year. In Witch Hunt, Syd is finally fitting in and making friends. But that doesn't mean she's human. And a scary group of witch hunters knows exactly what she is... and how to kill her!

To make matters more complicated, she finally has a guy who really likes her. A sexy football player even! But what about the even sexier witch-boy who stole this readers' heart in book 1? Yeah, it's not so simple for Syd. Hey Syd, I can make this real easy for you hon, PICK THE SEXY WITCH!

Can she fight the evil forces trying to destroy her family AND juggle two sexy guys with complicated relationships? You just have to read this next installment to find out. Can't wait for the next book! Good thing Ms. Larsen writes faster than most people read! This is a MUST READ for anyone who loves paranormal books about witches, magic and romance.

Another amazing Syd Hayle Adventure!
By Voracious Reviews
Another amazing Syd Hayle adventure! I can't get enough of this girl. She's snarky, loving and has a knack for not following directions. The snafu's she gets into this round really had me gripping my chair in absolute terror for her.

The Chosen of the Light are after her, especially the creepy Demetrius, who wants to recruit Syd for his demented faction that cleanses the earth of evil. He considers Syd's family as tainted, but since there is something more malevolent going on that distracts the coven from dealing with him, he gets widely ignored, which is a huge mistake.

Syd seems to find herself in tons of situations where her magic, still not under complete control, seems to attract trouble and fantastical things out nowhere. The school bully isn't even immune and she, Susanne, gets possessed by some unknown entity that wants to do nothing more than drain everyone dry around them--magic, blood and all. It really had everyone on their toes because no one knows what's going on for most of the book, which sort of freaks everyone out, including me. Definitely spine tingling.

Absolutely loved this installment of the Hayle Coven Series. It shows Syd growing more and more in tune with her magic, teases us with the handsome Quaid's subtle affections, pulls Syd's friends into the thick of the mess plaguing the coven and keeps you rooting for Syd the whole way through. Excellent series.

PHENOMENAL!!
By Books4Tomorrow
If I thought the first book in this series was an absolute must read, then "Witch Hunt" must be something like a double must read!

Six months along and Sydlynn Hayle is still in the same town and the same school but now has a circle of friends and even a boyfriend. She is learning to use her magical powers, enjoying her life with her friends and going to parties like any normal teenage girl.

One of the parties turns into a disaster when an ancient power arises to start feeding on kids with latent magical powers. When the mean cheerleader Suzanne are possessed, and town folk and coven members start disappearing, Syd's coven has to step in and do something about it. That is when things get out of hand.

Syd's crazy grandmother, who can only be subdued by a constant supply of chocolates and tequila, continues with her antics in this book, entertaining the reader to no end. And let's not forget another contributor who adds to the magic of this story - the silver Persian cat, Sassafras, who is really something else imprisoned in the body of a cat.

Once I started reading Witch Hunt, I simply couldn't put it down. The nonstop excitement, action and drama kept me sitting on the edge of my seat. As I had become very fond of many of the characters when reading the first book in the series, "Family Magic", I was really concerned that something bad may befall one of them during this story.

The dialogue is extremely well written but most enjoyable, and often hilarious, is the inner dialogue and thoughts of the main character, Syd. When she thinks of the bad guy as somebody with two god-complexes and a serious multiple personality disorder, I was shouting with laughter.

Patti Larsen brilliantly combines just the right amount of action, warmth and humor in this book - something which I always admire greatly in authors. I would strongly recommend this young adult novel to readers of all ages. Once again this gifted writer has given her readers a beautiful, warm-hearted and very suspenseful 5 star read to enjoy.

The American Slave Coast tells the horrific story of how the slavery business in the United States made the reproductive labor of "breeding women" essential to the expansion of the nation. The book shows how slaves' children, and their children's children, were human savings accounts that were the basis of money and credit. This was so deeply embedded in the economy of the slave states that it could only be decommissioned by Emancipation, achieved through the bloodiest war in the history of the United States. The American Slave Coast is an alternative history of the United States that presents the slavery business, as well as familiar historical figures and events, in a revealing new light.

Review
“A massive story of impressive research…” —Kirkus Reviews

“The Sublettes offer an economic history and theory of slavery that is blunt in its assessment, unassailable in its argument and accessible to a general reader.” —The Guardian

"Ned and Constance Sublette have provided the world with one of the best history books ever written about the United States. Nominally about the slave breeding industry in the US South, The American Slave Coast is actually a sweeping, in-depth survey of the nation known as the United States." —Counterpunch

“Planters said that slavery was a peculiar domestic institution, a way of life. Abolitionists answered that it was the ugliest of businesses. For too long historians tried to split the difference but really took a side by calling it ‘the South,’ a society or a culture. Drawing on the most recent scholarship, Ned and Constance Sublette get it right: it was an industry, a particular market-tested brand with varieties adapted to its changing times and places. And like all industries it had a politics, too, that affected producers, consumers, and the workers who, in this peculiar case, were not only labor but also capital and, in the bodies of their children, product. The three-hundred-year story has rarely, if ever, been told so fully or so well.” —David Waldstreicher, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, author of Slavery's Constitution: From Revolution to Ratification 

“The American story cannot be told without a knowledge of its complete history. In The American Slave Coast, the Sublettes have painstakingly provided readers with both a compelling narrative and a well-documented and factual rendering. In addition, to its many other applications, The American Slave Coast will be extremely useful as an exemplar in the contemplated National Slavery Museum in Virginia.” —L. Douglas Wilder, Former Governor of Virginia and author of Son of Virginia: A Life in America's Political Arena

“It is not a quick read. But it is an excellent and important one, and should be first on the list of anyone wanting to better understand slavery and race issues in America.” —San Diego Book Review

“[T]his is a useful addition to the historiography of slavery.” —CHOICE

“Despite the length, the Sublettes have constructed a heart rending, compelling, brilliant, and highly readable book, one that is best read out loud. Indeed, if we fail to understand how black bodies mattered in the past, we will surely misunderstand the movement and meaning in the present.” —African American Intellectual History Society

A Must Read
By Amazon Customer
I had no idea how many people were involved in slavery, how totally dependent our economy was on slavery, how many Presidents owned slaves, how slaves were viewed as collateral, how slavery as an investment depended on slave breeding and an ever expanding market. I was familiar with the treatment of women, the breakup of families, and the view of non-whites as inferior. I didn't realize the extent of destroying Native Americans or using them to destroy each other. An excellent book.

By Amazon Customer
Extremely well researched. It further plumbs the degradation and cruelty of slavery and helps to explain so many nuances of the Civil War. Black slaves built this country, but the attitudes still prevailing from the conditions and treatment the Sublettes have so clearly documented still haunts our country and denies them recognition. A must read for anyone striving for the betterment of society.

The grim details of a missing chapter in American history finally exposed
By Ken McCarthy
This book introduces to the general reader something that only serious historians of the slavery era grasp: Not only were terrorized human beings bought and sold as if tradable property, but enslaved women were often compelled to have children and those children, regardless of how they came into being, were very often taken away from their parents and sold as property too.

To steal people's life, liberty and labor is an abomination, but to take their children from them in a systematic, "business-like" way stretches the limits of inhumanity to nearly incomprehensible extremes. This book has come along at just the right time where there are still millions of Americans who simply don't "get" depth of the evil that this long chapter of American history represents.

New York Times bestselling author Hannah Howell continues the spellbinding saga of the powerful Murray clan in this sensual tale of lovers both tempted and tormented by their own passion. . .

A reckless need to break free of his family led Gregor MacFingal Cameron on a quest for a rich bride, only to fall prey to kidnappers and be tossed into a cold cell. He is soon joined by a frightened young woman who makes him regret his mercenary search for a wife. After a daring escape, he gladly joins Alana Murray's quest to rescue her sister, and soon temptation leads to seduction, with unspoken promises easily made, but harder to keep.

Alana knows the bond forged by danger and desperation has earned her an ally willing to fight for her sister's cause. But Gregor's tantalizing seduction leaves her breathless, and she seizes her one chance to experience true passion before an arranged marriage seals her fate--never anticipating the inescapable intensity of a man and a love that will change everything. . .

Why would a country strongly influenced by Buddhism's reverence for life allow legalized, widely used abortion? Equally puzzling to many Westerners is the Japanese practice of mizuko rites, in which the parents of aborted fetuses pray for the well-being of these rejected "lives." In this provocative investigation, William LaFleur examines abortion as a window on the culture and ethics of Japan. At the same time he contributes to the Western debate on abortion, exploring how the Japanese resolve their conflicting emotions privately and avoid the pro-life/pro-choice politics that sharply divide Americans on the issue.

Review
"This is a first-rate cross-cultural study, taking the reader to the heart of another society's beliefs and practices."--Mark Archer, The Sunday Telegraph

"Both Buddhism and abortion flourish in modern Japan: the link between them is death. William LaFleur explains how this has come about, and in doing so provides an unusual insight into the character of modern Japan, where death is a big-money operation both for medicine and for religion."--Thomas Crump, London Review of Books

"Objective, informed, observant, and imaginative. William LaFleur not only enlarges our knowledge, he also uses his single topic to illuminate a broad and fundamental feature of Japanese society itself."--Donald Richie, Japan Times Weekly

Brilliant and Necessary
By Lynn Hoffman, author:Radiation Days: A Comedy
This is, of course, a book about Japan and Japanese attitudes

toward birth, death and the fragility of life. Because it is

also a book about abortion, it also touches on an issue that

is incredibly hot in America even as abortion has become

an uncontroversial fact of life in most of the rest of the

world.

So it is a tribute to the author's scholarship as well as to

the scope of his world view that he stays true to the business

of explaining a Japanese Buddhist take on the world without

overtly indulging in taking sides in the American controversy.

It' a tribute to his depth of understanding that in spite of

this lack of partisanship, this splendid book has something to

teach us all and some light to shed on the American debate.

It would oversimplify LaFleur's arguement to sum it up, but one

thread is something like this. The Japanese view of a newborn

is that it is a potential life. This view is even more emphatic

in the case of an unborn-a foetus. People become people in

this view by a gradual process of socialization.

Rather than being heartless, this way of looking at things has

a great deal to recommend it-especially in days when infant

mortality was high. Parents who lost a new-born or an unborn

child could pray for the return of that child in a subsequent

pregnancy. The ritual system, which provided no funeral for

one who died so young, affirmed the tentative nature of the

dead one's membership in the human community.

If it takes socialization to make a human and a family to make

socialization, then it is also up to the community and the

family to decide if that's going to happen at all. In this

view, life in infancy is a liquid that hardens into indiv-

iduality with time.

So infant death and miscarriage are sad, but not final. The

unborn child gets to come around again, maybe with better karma.

This, of course, removes abortion from the realm of murder/

choice. It also forces all of us to see our various positons

in the American debate as products of our social and religious

assumptions just as the Japanese view is the product of theirs.

Again, this is not a book about the American abortion wars.

It is instead, a splendid book about Japanese religious beliefs

across a swath of history and how they affect attitudes. By

staying true to his topic, LaFleur teaches us a great deal.

--Lynn Hoffman, author of THE NEW SHORT COURSE IN WINE and

the forthcoming novel bang BANG from Kunati Books.ISBN

Not just a book about Japan...
By Michael Valdivielso
William R. LaFleur gives us a book which is well made. Piece by piece Mr. LaFleur goes over the history of abortion, buddhism, family planning, sexuality attitudes and even woman's lib in Japan. By the time he reaches his conclusion, you can't help but feel like you, yourself, have also researched and processed all the information.
Near the end, when he compares the Japanese ideas to American ideas on the issue, you can't help but feel that maybe it was all a well placed trap, to get you to look at the whole mess from a different point of view, not just the pro-life/pro-choice, good/bad, yes/no, on/off American way (where every issue only has two sides and the winner gets total victory, so no mercy!)
You might not like some of the points made, but it will sure force you to think.

An Excellent Book, Well Written and Well Researched
By A Customer
I can heartily recommend this book. I once took a course taught by LaFleur which was one of the best courses on understanding Japanese Buddhism and the practice of abortion. This book matches his good lecturing style.
What is interesting is that in the West abortion is viewed in primarily negative terms, as is infanticide. LaFleur's initial attitude was: How can Japanese engage in this kind of activity on such a large scale? What role does belief in reincarnation (according to Buddhism) play?
Rather than bringing in Western moral preconceptions that might prejudge his discussion, LaFleur treats this sensitive topic with great insight and sensitivity. This book will be a very interesting read for those interested in Japanese society and Buddhism.

Dashboards have become popular in recent years as uniquely powerful tools for communicating important information at a glance. Although dashboards are potentially powerful, this potential is rarely realized. The greatest display technology in the world won't solve this if you fail to use effective visual design. And if a dashboard fails to tell you precisely what you need to know in an instant, you'll never use it, even if it's filled with cute gauges, meters, and traffic lights. Don't let your investment in dashboard technology go to waste.

This book will teach you the visual design skills you need to create dashboards that communicate clearly, rapidly, and compellingly. Information Dashboard Design will explain how to:

• Avoid the thirteen mistakes common to dashboard design
• Provide viewers with the information they need quickly and clearly
• Apply what we now know about visual perception to the visual presentation of information
• Minimize distractions, cliches, and unnecessary embellishments that create confusion
• Organize business information to support meaning and usability
• Create an aesthetically pleasing viewing experience
• Maintain consistency of design to provide accurate interpretation
• Optimize the power of dashboard technology by pairing it with visual effectiveness

Have some good ideas, but could be shorter with no loss of content.
By Jose Ernesto Passos
After reading this book I have the following positive points to make:

.. It is very well designed, it is nice to look at it.

.. Has some good ideas (but they are not original ones).

.. In general, following its advice you will be able to do a better design of dashboards and management information systems screens.

If I counted only this I would give it 5 stars, but, I think this book has some negative points. One of the points makes the author inconsistent with his own recommendations throughout the book.

The book is about designing dashboards and the major line of thought is:
- keep it simple, clean and objective.
- Use the tools (graphics and tables) in a rational way.
- don't use all the fancy features that software vendors put in their products for they will make your dashboard less effective.

But the author when writing it, forgot part of his own teachings and produced a text that is very prolixic, too many words to explain simple concepts and ideas. Lacks objectivity.

So, if you want to better understand the use of graphs, take a look at Naomi Robbins, "Creating More Effective Graphs". This book is very objective, simple and fast to read.

The second flaw is that in the examples to show how to do a well designed dashboard, the author used two types of graphs that are not available in today's softwares. One type of graph was created by the author while writing this book (bullet graphs) and the other (sparkline) is the creation of Mr.Tufte, which will appear in a future book of his. It would be more useful to see examples with the typical tools available to design a dashboard.

So, be prepared for a nice experience with pictures and graphs in a sea of words. It is an excellent book that will help design dashboards and the like. (So far is the best book on this topic).

Its all about the dashboard...
By Eric Wuehler
I am currently working (as a software developer) on building a platform which incorporates a dashboard, so this book caught my attention. I learned a lot more than I ever really wanted to know about dashboard design aesthetics, visual perception and color theory; but if you're looking for a one-stop-shop detailing dashboard design, this is the book.

From the perspective of a software developer, I found the chapter "Thirteen Common Mistakes in Dashboard Design" quite useful. It discusses (obviously) thirteen "no-nos" when designing a dashboard. It has plenty of pictures illustrating the mistakes and describing helpful alternatives. The book is quick to read, the examples and critiques are explained well and easy to follow.

Not having a design background, I don't feel qualified to comment on the content other than to say it all made sense to me. :) I did, however, loan the book to one of our in-house design guys - he said it was "pretty good" and would recommend it.

If you're directly involved in building or designing a dashboard, this book is nice because it's all about dashboards - rather than a design book with just a chapter or two on dashboards.

Clear, concise, and cleanly designed and presented.
By Deron Dilger
This is a good book for those who need a better understanding of what constitutes a quality (visual) information dashboard. It doesn't get bogged down in useless details, focusing instead on the primary design factors (e.g. use of grapics, layout and space, text typeface and emphasis) which will help you to create a USEFUL and used info dashboard. The book itself is well designed (as one would expect) and the author's tone is casual and concise. Ample illustrations and images provide examples of the Dos and Don'ts so you can readily understand the design guidelines the author advocates.

Most of the book focuses on the visual aspects of info presentation with some useful forays into areas such as proper requirements/measurements gathering and different user types. Little of the book is on the "back-end" or deep business needs/uses of informational dashboards.

I think the book is well written, wise, and should be required reading for any developer who finds themselves working on an information dashboard or other data presentation project. Readers looking for more business case background or data-wrestling info will need other books but should consider reading this one to make sure all their hardwork doesn't result in a turd of a final presentation/project deliverable.
