One of my favorite aspects of the Ritz's motto is that it makes clear, one need not lose their status as a lady or gentleman because they serve others. Good reminder for service providers and a good reminder for those of us lucky enough to be guests, anywhere.

Chad, I think you won't regret having this book as part of your 5,000 pages. You're going to blow through your goal...and I think you'll like The New Gold Standard.

I read at least 1 or 2 books a week. Some are okay, and some are memorable. This one is in the memorable camp. I'll read it again...that's always the standard for me.

Frank,

Prior to this year, I could count on my hand how many books I actually read since college. This year, I vowed to read more. I started with a certain number of books, and then noticed that some books are one nighters and others take weeks of reading nightly. I quickly changed my plan to read 5,000 pages this year. I know this isn't as much as many people. I have heard success authors and lecturers mention many many times that they read 50 books a year. This is not happening for me. I have actual work to do. So, I decided on 5,000 pages. I am happy to say that I am well over 3,000 pages gone so far.

I will add this book to the list. It looks good.

Hi Dr. Michelli,

That is just such a nice note. I could have gone much longer in the review. I loved the storytelling approach combined with your research about what really works. It's hard to write a book like that and not just make it be cheerleading -- you did it with panache and care. I'm going to re-read your book...it was that good.
