Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wanted to like this book, but I'm three-quarters of the way through it and I keep thowing it down in disgust. Most "chapters" are a mere page and a half long and the information contained therein are just extremely commonsense snippets with no real insight or depth. His section on real estate gives you gems like "get a home inspection", or "if you house isn't selling, lower the price". Uh...DOH! Every topic is covered too briefly to have any real merit or make it worthy of a second thought, much less a second read. So far the most interesting part of the book has been the two sections with color photos, though most are just pictures of his girlfriend scowling. (Isn't this chick like a model or something? Why is she making these screwy faces in all the pictures?) Some of his advice on being successful in business includes not sleeping more than 4 hours a night and similar unpractical things. My advice is save your money....if you are really curious about this book borrow it from a friend or the library. Don't let this book take up valuable real estate on your bookshelf!
