In his new book, How to Break Out of Prison, John Wareham once again shares some of his brilliant insights into the way our minds work. The book reflects how his own thinking and writing has matured over the years to the point that no home or business library should be without a copy.

This is a book that everyone who is not enjoying a truly happy and successful life should read. It takes a fascinating look at the dynamics of what makes people successful or not. The correlation between positive and negative executive behavior vs. criminal behavior is intriguing and very well developed. Wareham constantly draws on real characters and real circumstances to make his points with great wit and warmth. I doubt if there is anything out there that even begins to compare to the unique subject matter of this book.

There but for you go I! -- Life skills expert, John Wareham, has created a stark journal vividly exposing the dual desperados of deceit and venality in corporate boardrooms with the inverted and deceiving mindset of petty hustlers and criminals -- the bits and pieces of humanity that continuously stream in-and-out of our prisons and jails. The reader will discover that the caveat of Wareham's remarkable tract is immediately made clear in exposing the potentiality for solipsism and self-sabotage embodied in us all.

Prisons have often been referred to as laboratories of "what is not working" in a society. Here is your chance to come the closest you'll ever come to understanding the enigmatic nature of recidivism via participating in a remarkable series of encounter groups with inmates confined in the world's largest municipal detention center, the Rikers Island Correctional Complex of the New York City Department of Correction. With a beautiful and concise depiction of the discontent often expressed in a wide variety of group therapy sessions as sick and tired of being sick and tired, Wareham offers up a profound and creative thesis of transforming a specious sense of personal autonomy into a pure sense of freedom. Everyone wants what everyone else wants: to be heard and to make a difference.

Ironically, the self-elucidating nature of Wareham's journey into the heart and soul of Riker's Island becomes even more transparent in light of the spurious greed among the current cast of corporate crooks bilking our pensions and investment portfolios. In Chapter One, you will meet a classic Type-A, CEO: His haughtiness and irritation suggests a man imprisoned by the very sense of inferiority that he's so desperate to deny. Wareham's savvy insight into the ways of mice and men makes it crystal clear that the biggest prison in the world is "between your ears." Want to cease competing with childhood ghosts? Want to eradicate the illusion of separateness from others? Want to stop participating in subliminal conspiracies of self-abnegation? There is absolutely no need to continue shadow boxing with self-made enemies. Here is your chance to achieve all of the above and more. Simply, join John Wareham, and the inmates of Rikers Island, in perfecting the art and science of How to Break Out of Prison.

The book offers an on-target approach in the use of group dynamics and positive-peer interaction (PPI) in correctional inmate program services, as well as probation, parole, and community corrections (i.e. halfway houses and substance abuse centers). In fact, this book can serve as a tool kit for everyone in anchoring personal and civic identity within the increasing onslaught of the post-modern world. I highly recommend it.

This book is great, absolutely brilliant. John Wareham was a management guru long before it was fashionable in the 70's and 80's. He was the the Donald Trump of recruitment consultants and his information has only become more relevant over time. If you can get a copy - you will NEVER regret it.

This book was simply spellbinding. I never read a book that understood the psychology of the workers in the work environment as well as this one. Other psychology book usually throw banal generalities at the reader, but the author has the experience to draw from to correctly label the personalities.
