Don't worry about me, though. Any clear freak who visited my house would still have plenty of reasons to recoil in horror!P. J.

The only way I read as many books as I do is by neglecting housework and rarely going out in the evenings.<br /><br />Sometimes I do a formal review, indicated in the title of a post. Many other times I write about one or more books without calling what I write a review. <br /><br />Glad you visited here.P. J.

(The rest of you, check out Dan’s entertaining and surprising website. What will appear next? It’s anyone’s guess.) Thank you for visiting, and I’ll be going back to visit you again and again, too. <br /><br />http://www.danpink.com/<br /><br />I want to add a postscript to my review, also, to highlight a couple aspects of it that deserve (even if they don't need) further mention. First, the content is research-driven rather than ideological. Second, the pragmatic toolkit suggestions give readers a way to turn their newly acquired knowledge of human behavior into successful strategies of their own.<br /><br />DRIVE is now available in paperback and has been ordered by your Northport bookseller for Dog Ears Books.P.
