This book is not for everyone. Or maybe it is. It depends on how well you can handle being told blunt truths about yourself. Because we NEED to be told the truth by someone. Our friends and family aren't going to do it, so why not get it from a book? I for one was insulted, but loved it nonetheless. Manson is sarcastic, but honest. He doesn't sugarcoat anything. The contents of this book will tell you how to get ahead by not caring so much. It's the first self-help book from which I've actually been able to enjoy and be able to apply.
