Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If your goal is to learn how to manipulate people (and fool yourself) this book is for you. In Chapter 2 the author brags about 'winning' the gold medal at the Chinese Kickboxing National Championship in 1999 by forcing opponents off the mat and thereby winning by default. Preview of things to come. Chapter 4 - Here's a useful tip that he mentions more than once: "...things often cost much, much less than expected." ? Oh yes? His Aston Marin DB9 only costs $2,003.10 per month, he tells us. Now doesn't that information just transform your life? Whew, one worry off of my list. Expect more of the same as you read on. Chapter 5 is titled The End of Time Management. The first sentence reads "Just a few words on time management: Forget all about it." The remainder of the chapter continues to provide basic time management tools presented, or rather spun, to sound like a revolutionary approach. As for creating a new lifestyle, well this book applies if you already have money to burn and resources to fall back on and can afford to receive the pink slip that will surely come your way if you deal with people - particularly managers - as the author suggests. This book is just another 'slight of hand' of the sort he brags of throughout. He's hood-winked us all and is laughing all the way to the bank. I agree completely with a previous reviewer who nailed it nicely: a get-rich-quick scheme for the shallow. It is mandatory to award at least one star in order to submit this review and it pains me to award even that much.
