Fish Book Reviews Samples For Students

Fish

The four principles of Fish are a) Be There (being emotionally present), b) Play (be sure to have fun and be creative); c) Make Their Day (focus on customer service and altruism), and d) Choose Your Attitude (take responsibility for how you react to things in life) (Lundin, Paul & Christensen). I think Choose Your Attitude is the most important, as our way of going about our work informs everything else about the Fish! Philosophy – without the right attitude, it is impossible to Be There, Play and Make Someone’s Day.

The Life of Pi is a fiction novel by Yann Martel that narrates the adventure experienced by the main character, Pi Patel, who survived in a shipwreck and found himself stranded in a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker.

A close corollary is an intense curiosity about the goings-on behind the curtains in Washington, arguably the biggest seat of power of democracy in the modern world. It is this world that Mark Leibovich (2013) writes about in his book ‘This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral- Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!’ and the outcome is a ...

In Knockout, Suzanne Somers interviews a number of doctors who have very specific ideas on cancer treatment and prevention – namely, that radiation, chemotherapy, and mammography do not work, and can actually cause more harm than good. They then proceed to offer their own alternatives, usually from their own field of medicine, which they claim are much better solutions for preventing and treating cancer. Somers then goes on to detail her own experiences working with doctors in the face of a misdiagnosis of cancer, and how that led her to seek alternative treatments and preventative measures. Upon reading this book, I ...

Ernest Hemingway’s novel “The Old Man and the Sea” presents a thought provoking response to the theme of pride versus humility. By looking at the motives of two main characters we can gain a better insight into two different takes on this issue.
The protagonist of the novel is Santiago. Santiago’s character develops over the course of the novel. Santiago represents an undying need to prove himself and his stubbornness doesn’t allow him to give into his struggles (Hemingway). The old man is in a constant battle against the forces of the sea, even though we know his ...
