## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Read
*by H***I on August 28, 2019*

I received this as a gift. I guess working for a large company and being a fan of the Dead was the reason my kids chose this for me!I have read a lot of business books over the years. This was definitely the most fun one I have ever read! Colorful stories about a band I love were engaging, making this a page turner to me.The ten lessons are fairly unique as well, but quite reapplicable to business across the board. "Live your values," "Be kind," "Encourage Employees to Lead" sound similar to other business books, but come with a Grateful Dead spin on it. Has given me some great ideas to try and implement at my company.Deadhead? Business professional? Either one (or both!) will find something in this book! Recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who knew?
*by P***L on April 17, 2012*

My wife and I met at a Grateful Dead concert and we were married at one. All of this took place many years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, both from my perspective as a Dead Head and a current Tour Manager for a nationally touring band. I bought two copies to share amongst the band members of the band for whom I work.This is well-written, very comprehensive, and an insight into America's favorite band (like it or not, it's true). I learned a lot from this, both in terms of what I experienced way back when and what I am now confronting, trying to help an extraordinary group of musicians survive in today's economy.Read this. You will come away with a smile on your face.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The 10 principles translated to the Fire Service
*by A***A on September 3, 2024*

My wife bought me this book for Christmas around 2015. I did not get around to reading it until 2017. Who cared about the business end of the Grateful Dead? I had been in the fire service for 40 years, 25 in senior leadership positions. As I started reading the book, I started correlating the 10 principles to the activities and operations of the fire service. Dr. Barnes's work inspired me to create a class based on the 10 principles called, " What The Fire Service Could Learn From The Business Principles of The Grateful Dead." I then submitted this very unique presentation to the "Fire Department Instructors Conference", the largest Fire Service-related conference in the United States. Three months later, to my surprise and excitement, it was chosen to be presented at FDIC 2018, (It did not hurt that the dude who ran the conference, Bobby Halton, was a huge Deadhead.). While developing the content for the presentation, Dr. Barnes was gracious enough to support it. Creating and developing the presentation was one of the most exciting events of my life. We had fire hats and stickers made up to distribute at the presentation. I even had a banner created. it went well, The reviews rated it highly. I still deliver the program one to two times a year, in total it has been delivered about 20 times. At the end of every class, I always have a couple of people come up to me and say, "I attended this program as I was curious. I am not a Deadhead, but your content and delivery resonated with me, good job." This book and its principles can be translated into any industry. it gets people to think from a unique and different perspective to expand their minds to be open to new opportunities. "Once In Awhile You Get Shown The Light In The Strangest Of Places If You Look At It Right." and then, "Maybe You'll Find DirectionAround Some Corner Where It's Been Waiting To Meet You."
