June 15, 2008: This is a good attempt to shed some light on the way men in business think and behave, particularly regarding women in business. It was an easy read, and the alpha male terminology section describing ringers, pile-ons, finders/minders/grinders, etc. was interesting. The book contains some sound advice for professional women, although none of it is earth-shattering or particularly new. This could be a good book for a 'newbie' just entering the work world, or perhaps a lazy Sunday afternoon refresher for the more experienced professional.
