The 80/20 Principle and 92 Other Powerful Laws of Nature: The Science of Success Paperback – April 15, 2014

The author makes a less than convincing argument that the laws of quantum dynamic affects the way business succeed. Since each law presented in the first chapter is refined by each succeeding chapter only 20% of the book is relevant. The good take from the book is the evolution of the tools and best practices of business and applying the laws for evolution to business. If i believed everything in the book I would have to give the book only four stars or one stars to maintain the ratio. I was able to see though that ruse and gave the book 5.

Concise, ambitious, thought-provoking. I didn't agree with all of it - which is why it provoked my thinking! Well worth reading.

Quite simply a tour de force. Chock full of insights for life and business, purpose and meaning. Predates and supersedes well traveled, otherwise worthy books such as Peter Thiel's "Zero to One."

I was somewhat disappointed with this book. I was expecting something different. I am sure many would enjoy it. I had a hard time finishing it. I believe in the principle. It is a good book, for some reason I couldn't connect with it.

This book explains how the laws of physics and nature pertain to business, as it is like a living organism rather than a thing. It all makes a lot of sense to me now after reading it.

i highly recommend this book , lot of practical uses of the 80/20 rule

Richard Koch covers a vast range of science here. So much so that it made my head spin. But then I have no background in physics, biology or mathematics beyond the very basics.I may have to read this again to fully "get it" but I did get a lot...actionable stuff at that.Like I said, he covers a lot of territory, which usually spells disaster because authors end up covering nothing very well. But this book manages to pull it off.Not something you could read in a couple of hours and then just forget about. This book will have me thinking for a while. The implications are intriguing, because it considers business from the perspective of universal laws...yes very ambitious!
