Why you should read Catch!
While author Cyndi Crother acknowledges that another wildly successful business book about this fish market preceded her, she has insights to offer based on time she spent with the free-wheeling, fish-throwing denizens of Seattle’s World Famous Pike Place Fish. Her book picks up on the spirit of past coverage, but she adds the fishmongers’ philosophical ruminations to her own slightly mushy, eclectic New Age managerial wisdom. This is not for strictly business readers, but it will ring a chord with those who seek to balance life and work. It’s about warmth, and treating people with sensitivity, and creating your own reality by aligning your thoughts and actions with your intentions. It is also about workplace comradeship, customer service and how to sell the heck out of fish all day long. It’s all pretty entertaining, given the lively background of the fish market. getAbstract suggests you throw a line in the water; you might just hook something you can really use.
