Free Book Offer from Dr. Eli Goldratt
Dr. Eli Goldratt, the author of many books including "The Goal," "It's
Not
Luck," and "Critical Chain," is releasing a new book entitled "The
Choice."
Similar to "The Goal, this book is also in the format of a novel. Dr.
Goldratt explores "how to think clearly" through a conversation with his
daughter who is a psychiatrist. In the book, his daughter uses an example
that is outside of her reverence environment of a retail distributor to
analyze how to see an unfamiliar situation clearly.
Dr. Goldratt has allowed Michael Demere to make an offer to the members of
APICS chapters that he has spoken to in the past.
He will give you a free copy of Dr. Goldratt's new book if you commit to
do these simple things:
1. TRY to read the book within 30 days of receiving it.
2. Within 30 days answer the following questions: Did you finish the
book? What are your age, occupation and education? Did you recommend the
book to anyone else? If so, please provide the age, occupation and
education of each person you recommended the book to. Do not forward the
name of the person you recommended the book to.
You do not even need to provide your name to Dr. Goldratt's Assistant. The
only name that they request from the person filling in the answers is the
name of the person who passed out the original book (this name would be
indicated as Michael Demere).
Dr. Goldratt will be using the answers to the questions to direct the
dialogue in another novel he is currently writing.
If you would like to receive a free copy of "The Choice," and if you
commit
do to the simple things, please send an email to
michaeldemere@red-curve.com
with your name and preferred mailing address.
This offer will only be valid until the book arrives in bookstores, so
please send your email before October 30 at the latest.
