Summary: best book for network marketers on the market today
Comment: anyone who does not understand this book does not understand network marketing. this book really goes into the depths of amway and brings out the truth about it and anyone who knocks this book does or has not read it at all. the author really researched his subject and has given knowledge to the reader.

Summary: More Propaganda to hide the Real Amway
Comment: Obviously the person who wrote the book, never sought to speak to "informed" or "taken advantage of" Amway distributors. The fact that Amway merely serves as a front for the Diamonds tools and motivational businesses and where the real money and lifestyles come from in Amway. Why not read the truth about Amway in the book "The Cult Of Free Enterprise" by Steven Butterfield

Summary: A must read if you are starting a business of your own.
Comment: Business is all about people and relationships and the Amway business is no different except the fact that the people you associate with are there to help you become successful as this book demonstrates. This fact has been proven thousands of times over all around the world. If you are considering this business as a vehicle to acheive financial freedom, take the time to seriously investigate, do your homework, and just do it! You won't regret it.

Summary: Great author! Great book!
Comment: This book is truly an independant look at Amway by a highly respected individual. The author of this book has writtin five other books before Empire of Freedom. The topics on his other books have included business communications, politcis and even commercial opportunities in Vietnam. In the 1980's he developed an internatiol business plan for California by request of the governor!

Not only is this book written by a highly respected individual, it also has a foreword by the President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce! He states about the book, "It's a remarkable story, remarkably told, a story of common people achieving uncommon things every day and, in the process, changing the world for the better."

To those people looking for insight into Amway corp.'s marketing concepts, don't buy this book. This book is about the Amway goal and dream, and how it has affected so many poeple in a positive way. It doesn't go into detail about the marketing plan, and it ! wasn't intended to. The book is about the Amway story (as stated in the title), not the marketing plan.

I highly recommend this book!

Summary: What a joke!! Not an indpendent analysis of Amway
Comment: I purchased this book looking for insight into Amway corp.'s marketing concepts and some background history on what made the company successful. Instead I got a lot of Amway propaganda. Please do not put this book in the category of an independent analysis of Amway. It is just some book that is undoubtedly given away Amway rallies.


Editorial Reviews:

FIRST, two men set out to find a better way to feed their families. THEN, they created a business that feeds millions of families. NOW, people are asking how the rural, small-town basement operation that started in 1959 turned into a $6.3 billion global phenomenon of today. AVAILABLE NOW is Empire of Freedom—the first fully up-to-date exploration of the Amway phenomenon in fifteen years!

"The Amway story vividly and powerfully reminds us all that the values we hold dear as Americans—freedom, private enterprise, individual initiative, personal responsibility, and the love of family—are universal in scope and appeal."
—From the Foreword by Richard Lesher,
President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce


As author James W. Robinson journeys inside one of the world?s largest direct sales organizations, readers from all walks of life will discover:

• How two men built an internationally respected company based on core American values and beliefs
• Inspirational stories from hardworking men and women around the world who have overcome adversity to achieve financial success in Amway
• How technological advances will affect Amway in the 21st century
• Success secrets of top Amway leaders
• The worst thing anyone ever said about Amway


Selected by Success magazine as an "Editor?s Choice" book, Empire of Freedom was featured on the front flap of all newsstand copies of the magazine?s multilevel-marketing special edition in October 1996.
