A Great Book for Anyone's Desk February 14, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful

This is a great "coffee table" book, though it is in paperback. It is not meant to be read like a book, but to be flipped through time and time again. The photographs are outstanding; world famous. The "Cowboy Ethics" are simple, straight forward, and are meant to cause some thought. There are numerous quotes in the book from classic western authors and actors to back up the "ethics". Leave this book on top of a desk in any business office, and it will definitely leave the reader with some new thoughts as they head to the water cooler...

Common morals in an uncommon book. January 30, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered the book. Upon receiving it, I couldn't put it down. This book is a full dose of downhome cowboy common moral sense combined with stuningly beautiful western photography. The book was purchased as a gift for a real cowboy friend of mine. This man who made much of his living on the back of a horse opened the book, paged through it and put it down. Within a minute or so, he picked the book up and paged through it again. He was hooked! The traditional wisdom and astonishing photography makes this book something you want to give your children and best friends. If you have any doubts look to the end of the book at the photo of the mounted cowboy carrying a calf in a snowstorm. If that doesn't sell you, nothing will.

A Quick Read on a Complex Subject for Our Time May 10, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

This book was loaned to me by a person engaged in overseeing ethical considerations in medical testing. Given my interest in ethics in the software industry, I found this book fascinating. I've ordered my own copy. James Owens has written a book that can be applied far beyond his target of the financial world. ALL PEOPLE of all nationalities and persuasions should read and embrace this book. As James says several times, it's easy to tell the difference between Right and Wrong. Embracing the ten principles, and especially "Do What Has to Be Done", can lead us to a much improved world.

Cowboy Ethics Appeals to a Spiritual Truth June 16, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

A copy of Cowboy Ethics, What Wall Street Can Learn
from the Code of the West landed in my hands via a
friend. Taking an honored spot on my coffee table,
visitors and friends constantly pick up this book and
pour over it. Some comment on the unique subject
matter, others remark on the stunning visual design of
the book; all who read it are riveted.

For someone who loves spiritual, new age books and
newsmagazines, Cowboy Ethics appeals to me in its
universal truth of the ways of the Old West extending
a handshake to Wall Street; an industry ripe for the
opportunity of ethically-driven leadership. The idea
of imbuing the new frontier of finance with the
romantic, heroic integrity of the cowboy is not only
an exciting possibility, but incredibly sexy, as well.
Rich visuals and a compelling message make for a read
that will fill both your mind and your soul.

I've given this unusual book to many of my hard-to-shop-for
friends, who always love it.

Cowboy Ethics brings inspiration in the midst of scandalous times July 1, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

Extraordinary events bring extraordinary changes. Scandals in government, media, the stock market and business have plagued our society. Now is the time to bring back proper ethics.

With this in mind, veteran of Wall Street and author James P. Owen brought his experience and beliefs about right and wrong and the Cowboy Way to paper with the photographs of David R. Stoecklein and the creativity of graphic designer Nita Alvarez. The result is this extraordinary book, Cowboy Ethics. Its clear messages are stirring to me.

Read the meaning of the words. Absorb the emotion of the artwork. Let these pages speak to your heart and soul. Review these pages with respect. Read the Acknowledgements, as this product would be less without these individuals. Each has added their best to bring about this spectacular outcome.

This is a special book & we can all help inspire a better America with this "Cowboy Ethics" message in our daily business. Enjoy these pages and share the Code of the West.
