On occasion, John Von Achen’s books will surprise and even shock readers, as is the case with "Corporate Zombie, Miracle cures and prescriptions for bringing managers and employees to life". In this provocative and though provoking audio book, John Von Achen likens a large percentage of today’s employees to zombies, who, have been “infected” by management with a number of “viruses”, which are responsible for keeping employees ineffective and unproductive. In the end, John Von Achen offers a number of “prescriptions” to executives to enable them to cure the corporate zombies they have created.

When asked why he thinks his books are so popular and well received, John Von Achen’s answer is very candid and simple, “Because they are real. I do not write or speak about theories. I am a guy who is sharing how to succeed, either professionally or personally, based on my experience and the experience I have observed from a number of my successful friends, colleagues and clients.”

And does John Von Achen have a favorite book? Yes he does ... and his response is always the same, “Lucky, 7 principles to ensure “luck” remains your permanent life companion”.

John has just finished writing Anything is Possible, Dare to believe it . . . Live to prove it! . . . a long awaited book modeled after his incredibly popular seminar bearing the same name.
