Loss and Discovery is a non-fiction book by Russell M. Linden. It offers pages filled with self-explanatory notes, advice, and direction to people in authority or leaders on how to lead during times of disorder in their organizations.

Russell begins this book with change, and how it starts with communication. With several biblical passages and messages of the Torah, Russell thoroughly explained how a leader could influence a change no matter the circumstances. He went on to write about how people would avoid change and how a potential leader should be able to manage it.

Russell, using Moses's style of leadership, explained why a leader should listen to a voice other than their own. Another area he delved into is how a leader can lead indirectly. During times of upheaval, Russell succinctly explained what a leader should do. What are these things a leader does to manage the affairs of his organization during a time of disorder? Why would somebody deliberately avoid change?

This book has a lot of positive aspects. The writing style of the author was unique. As a work of non-fiction, I thought this book would be boring, but after reading the first chapter, I was intrigued. The way the author used biblical stories and some of his true-life events to explain his points made it more beautiful for me. I like that the author was able to explain with stories as backup why some of his points and ideas worked and why others didn’t. I love the way he was able to get commentaries from different recognized dignitaries at the end of each chapter.

Also, I love the way the author analyzed most of the biblical stories just to prove his point. He made me see some of the stories in the Bible in a different light; for instance, I saw Josiah's story from a different perspective. After seeing the references and bibliography at the end of this book, I admire the amount of research Russell put into this work. I learned about change and how individuals react to it. I was also able to learn various principles of leadership. Frankly speaking, with the amount of knowledge I gained from this book, I think I can take up a leadership position at any organization. The words used in this book were all relatively easy to understand. I was also able to learn a few words. I learned words like rambunctious, effulgence, aridity, amygdala, dopamine, and so on.

I found minimal grammatical errors in this book. This shows that it was professionally edited. I found no negative aspect to this book. I would commend the author for a job well done.

Therefore, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. This book deserves a perfect rating. It was captivating and above all contains very few errors as I mentioned above. I enjoyed everything about this book. I learned a lot about leadership from it. I recommend this book to leaders and people who want to take on the position of a leader. This book is generally suitable for readers who wish to learn more about leadership.

A book that teaches leaders how to lead in times of disorder is a must read for me. I will read Loss and Discovery by Russell M. Linden to know the points given by the author on leadership.

[Ferdinand_Otieno]

This is a non-fiction book that offers self-explanatory notes, advice, and direction to people in authority or leaders on how to lead during times of disorder in their organizations. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has an inciteful OnlineBookClub review.

[Hubre De Klerk]

This sounds like an amazing book for anyone to read. People are comfortable creatures and mostly dislike change as it influences their comfort. Having the skill to manage and interpret that, is a must-have in any company and also at home. I think this book will help a lot of people! Well done on an amazing review and for receiving #BOTD.

[Jeremie Mondejar]

I was enthralled by the ways of the Torah in guiding leaders. This book might help me understand how to deal with church leadership. Plus, the way the author uses biblical references in this book is quite interesting to me. Application in the ways of Torah is just very easy to say. I'm looking forward to reading this book. 

[Maria Ferreira Silva]

What a great review on your part about Loss & Discovery. I was intrigued by your critique and it seems to be an amazing novel about leadership!

[Bisola Adeleke]

This sound like a book that teaches and direct leaders. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.

[Anna Gabriela Contreras]

Based on the title, I thought this book was about grief, and how to deal with it but based on the review I am not interested in reading it. I have no knowledge or interest in the Torah nor am I a religious leader.

[AntonelaMaria]

After reading the sample, I decided that this is not a book for me. I like that author provided both things that might work and things that don't work. I'm not interested in leadership books so I will pass.

[Margi zuu202]

Book of the day BOTD is non fiction and a professional guide to leadership Tora offer's timeless lessons for all.the book draws on biblical sources, leadership studies, neurophysiology, history, economics and other Fields that help leader's understand how to prepare for implement change, what to do and what not to. Tora also include insight from Abraham Lincoln, Ruth Ginsburg, nelson Mandela and Colin Powell as well as change agents in religious community,law enforcement, humanitarian services and politics..the book was well written and reviewed it worth my recommendation

[Gabriel Okello 1]

change in society, it's desirable no matter the situation it can either be positive or negative but it archives desirable goals and objectives

[Amy Luman]

All leaders need help sometimes, and where better to get it than God?

[Okonobe Chioma Chukwuma]

Anyone would enjoy reading this fantastic novel, in my opinion. People are creatures of comfort, and they typically detest change because it interferes with their comfort. In any company, as well as at home, having the ability to handle and understand that is essential. Many people will benefit from this book, in my opinion. your review is nice.

[Roy Nick]

Sounds like a great book full of insights and wise excerpts. Great review!

[María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda]

I think nobody likes change, but our ability not only to face it but also to thrive during times of change is essential, especially for leaders.
Great review!
