This book makes no sense in our time. Let me give you an example, he says everytime you are trying to make a choice, pull out a one-dollar bill, look at lincoln and ask yourself “What would lincoln do?” WTF?
I do not recommend this book at all, he goes on talking for hours without giving you the “purpose” of the stories he gives. Sure, I can talk for hours and tell stories that make no sense at all.
Dont Waste your time, you would improve much much much better if you start talking to yourself instead of listening to this guy.

I think this book gave me herpes, along with some other non descript burning sensations. All in all, it was the most fun I’ve ever had reading a book… Thank you for your time, Bill H. Menton

How to influence people? one may ask….
This book will work for 30% of the world population. This 30% is already socially skilled and able to control people, they can use this book as an outline of etiquette.
If the remaining 70% wants to learn how to influence people they should join the Jehova’s wittnesses, Landmark or even better, get involved with Scientology. Here they will really learn how to pressure peoples thought processes, have the morality of a shark and become numb to any counter-argument. Then it won’t bother you if you call people on their wedding day or on their fathers funeral to sell them something, you’ll get the deal closed!
I also heared the government is busy constructing devices to electronically control people with some remote device.
It’s all in the power of the MIND……

This is a very funny book. It’s not meant to be, but the ideas it tries to put across are machiavelian, childish and short sighted. The underlying theme is that one should do favours for others in order to receive the same from them: hardly a theme to build friendships on.
If you are currently paying people cash to be your “friend”, you might find significant financial savings from the ideas in this book: you could be paying them in plenty of other ways.
It makes a great gag gift: you will find yourself passing this around to read out loud at parties.
