Friends
Here's my original question and the information I've received. Many thanks
to all who replied:
Our guidance counselor is interested in the "fish" book that is making its
way around educational circles.
The following is a snip from the LM_NET archives - I need to know if this is
the book that goes with the video. If not, what is the book called.
Thanks!
It's called, "Fish! Catch the Energy & Release the Potential" by Stephen C.
Lundin, Ph.D., Harry Paul and John Christensen. It was a Wall Street
Journal Business Bestseller. It was presented to our staff at the beginning
of the last school year, and it was very enjoyable and motivating to the
staff. There is a video that is available also that is a companion to the
book. The book is published by Hyperion and the ISBN is 0-7868-6602-0.
If you have not used the FISH video form the Pike Street Market in
Seattle-it is wonderful and uplifting. The book that goes with it is an
excellent short adult book.

Fish: A remarkable way to boost morale and improve results
By Stephen C. Lundin, Ph.D., Harry Paul, and John Christensen
New York: Hyperion, 2000.
ISBN: 0-7868-6602-0
It's an awesome book!!!!
The book is dumb. It is called "Catch! A fishmonger's guide to greatness."
By Cyndi Crother and the crew of world famous pike place fish.
I've seen the video, excellent. I read MOST of the book, after the
umpteenth chapter telling you each person's story and how the themes and
philosophy have worked in their life you are ready to jump in with the fish.
They could have easily told in a pamphlet what the 150 page book tells you.
Ours is even a signed copy.
Yes - you have the right book. Better than that, if you go to
www.fishforschools.com you can find that book and a ton more stuff that is
FANTASTIC! I love FISH - I own the video and all 5 books. Plus, if you ever
get the chance to attend a conference by them - GO! it is truly a life
changing experience.
Yes, that is it! I have read the book a couple of times, even after it was
required, and it always gets me excited about teaching again. Also, the
video is good, too.
