How to Use Other People 101 - Nothing New
This book could have been titled "How to Use People 101" or "How to be a human parasite" and been just as relevant. Let's see...average guy who didn't bother to "play by the rules" like other poor idiots who worked their way through college or became experts in the field. Then throw in (and I quote)How to use other people's ideas, other people's money, other people's time...
For those who have even the slightest level of self respect or integrity - pass. For the rest of you who desire the dollar at any and all cost - this will be right up your alley.
There are MUCH better books out there that give you real advice on how to build wealth without becoming a human parasite; this book isn't about wealth, it's a primer on using people. However, the author is practicing what he preaches - he's using OTHER PEOPLE's ideas that you have heard a million times before. Don't waste your time on this bomb.
