Fascinating and horrifying at the same time. Everyone needs to read this.
Extremely helpful research and detailed history about the multi-level marketing industry/ Ponzi schemes. A lot of information and a tad dry but a great read.

Was in a very popular MLM/Direct Sales company for 8 years of my life. I wish I would have had this book before I wasted my time and damaged my self esteem and mental health and pocket book. Very intriguing and upsetting read about what these companies can get away with.
Fitzpatrick is The Guy when it comes to MLM’s! If you’re fascinated by the horrible manipulative business of Ponzi/pyramid schemes (aka “direct selling”) and how the heck they get away with the atrocities that they do, this is definitely worth checking out. I contacted him after listening to The Dream and he is an awesome and brilliant person.
As someone who is anti-mlm, it was fascinating to read a lot of what was outlined in this book. It was just a bit dry when going through the history of how MLMs came to be. Not really a page turner, but definitely interesting enough to keep me going.
This book details the history of multi-level marketing and its deceptive path until now. A must-read!

Great resource on MLMs with good information. Needs a better narrator, though.

A must read for anyone wanted to know more about the Anti-MLM movement (MLM here means Multi-Level Marketing, NOT "men loving men" as some people on TikTok get confused about!)
Bob breaks down the history of MLM and discusses how and why it is so difficult to stop these companies from popping up again and again with the slightest of variations after they do (rarely) get hit with fines or other penalties.
