This book has got to hold the record for promising the most while providing the least since the pet rock. It makes "if you build it, they will come" look like deep theology. Wrapped in shrouds of mystery (think Og Mandino's, the Richest Man in Bablyon) it purports to offer jewels of great wisdom which turn out to be little more than the same old drivel we have heard many times before from Napoleon Hill and his devotees. Skip this book and read Paul Coehlo's book 'The Alchemist'. It's a heck of a lot more interesting and doesn't pretend to be something it clearly is not.
