Leaf through the third book in the Allens' business series in which Winnie-the-Pooh and The Stranger put their heads together to figure out how to achieve success. For many readers, the overall concept of success--from selecting a dream to getting organized--and its explanations will be old hat, even repetitious. But for newcomers to the corporate arena, or those struggling for the meaning of work and life, the advice will prove helpful. As in their previous self-help tomes (one is on management and the second on problem solving), every step is described in the words and activities of Milne's characters; Owl pontificates, for instance, on the ergonomic aspects of the workplace, and Eeyore bemoans his lack of alphabet writing capabilities. Anything, as the Allens well know, is best learned within a familiar metaphorical construct. - Barbara Jacobs; 224p-
