I thought this did a really good job of incorporating lesson learning into stories. It made absorbing the information enjoyable and interesting.

Very good and useful book, but if I didn't get this for a book club I don't think I could have made it all the way through by myself.
Review to come.

Definitely very informative with lots of good points but the yapping could have ended way sooner

It was decently interesting with some applications at the end. Since I read it for work, I’m not sure how I feel. I would like for what we read to be applied, but we’ll see if that happens.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Lately, I have been reading a lot of material similar to that of this book (team building, improving school culture, etc.), but Coyle's book contained a great deal of content that I had not previously encountered. I found the book engaging and enjoyed the diversity of well-chosen examples.
I don't think I could pin down any one audience for this book except to say that it is for anyone who wants to build a great cooperative group or improve one that they are already a part of. I was interested in this book because I am pursuing educational leadership, but I could see this book being useful to coaches, business leaders, parents, and more.
Solid 5 stars. I can't think of anything that could have made this book more enjoyable or informative for me.

I can honestly say this is one of the best non-fiction books I’ve ever read. Daniel Coyle shepherds you through the world of highly successful groups of all shapes and sizes, distilling lessons and stories into insight with an incredible clarity.
As a logical science-y type, this book connected the world of body language and group dynamics with data and rationality in a manner both utterly simple and entirely novel. It has permanently changed the way I will interact in every group setting (work, family, friends, etc.), and has made me super excited to observe people in this context.
