Some of the specific examples are outdated, but the principles are timeless!

I was originally skeptical of this book, not sure if it was going to actually contain decent advice or if it was going to be more of a cliche "how to get rich quick like me!" type of book; luckily, it was the former. While the advice is pretty simple (be nice and respectful to people, remember their names, listen and be kind etc.), the anecdotes and stories given throughout the book are very interesting. Should people have to be told "don't yell and be condescending so that people will want to have you around"? Probably not; however, it doesn't hurt to reinforce that idea, especially to the bosses and CEO types who all seem to love these types of books.

A book that makes you want to go inside it and punch the character in the face. About nascisism, egotism and how a person can alienate itself by their own self aggrandizement.
