Superb reflections on the highs and lows of the business travelers, April 8, 2007

By Kevin Quinley “GeezerJock” (Fairfax, VA) –
  

This review is from: The Way of the Road Warrior: Lessons in Business and Life from the Road Most Traveled (Hardcover)

For anyone who travels for a living or takes business trips. This is a fantastic book filled with insight, poignancy, humor and wisdom. Robert Jolles is a self-employed consultant and trainer who has earned his stripes, not to mention frequent flyer miles. Anyone who has been degraded by what passes as airline “service” (an oxymoron?) these days, will relate. Yet, the book is not a diatribe on airline imbecility. It is a rumination on the highs and lows of business travel and how it can become a dysfunctional addiction that ravages one’s soul and family. The kind of book I was sad to see end – the ultimate compliment a reader can pay!

Great life lessons for anyone who travels, October 28, 2005

This review is from: The Way of the Road Warrior: Lessons in Business and Life from the Road Most Traveled (Hardcover)

Wow! I was lucky enough to get a galley preview of this book sent to me. Talk about taking you on a voyage you didn’t think you were going on, I could not put this book down… and neither could my wife. You’ll certainly learn how to get your bags on board, and handle delays, but this book goes a whole lot further than that. Rob Jolles not only takes you into the world of the Road Warrior and the ups and downs that world creates, he takes you on a compassionate journey into those who wait at home, what they must endure, and solutions to this most difficult way of life. Hands down, this is one of the most important reads for anyone who travels for business, whether for one day or 365

Life Changing Book!!! A Must Read!!!, January 9, 2006

By Jerry Maguire “Dan” (Baltimore, Maryland) –

This review is from: The Way of the Road Warrior: Lessons in Business and Life from the Road Most Traveled (Hardcover)

I’ve been a road warrior for many years. I work for a sports agency and I spend many nights and weeks away from my family. I have risen very high in my profession and I think I could go higher. I had also forgotten what was important. Robert Jolles helped remind me. The book starts a funny, witty series of tales about lessons learned on the road. It was wonderful up to this point and I was already happy I read it. Then I reached the part about overcoming the addiction to travel. I realized that this book was speaking to people like me. I have since started traveling less and spending more time with my family. Robert Jolles has truly changed my life and I can’t thank him enough for writing this. I recommend this to anybody, anywhere who travels. There are so many wonderful lessons in this book. A must read for all of us road warriors!!!
