I’ve seen the cover in bookstores. I got the impression that even if the title was hyperbolic and baity, even if he did genuinely think he was smarter than everyone else, even if I thought so, the title makes him (and you if you read it) seem like an asshole.
Granted, even if you take the nicest possible book that can bear this title, I wouldn’t know what it should actually be called to sell well. The self help section is almost certainly 99% drivel, and I’m okay with walking past it almost every time, but every so often I wish there was some good stuff in there.
on one hand some of the these books make a meandering point that’s interesting sometimes, I find a lot of these books are written so that CxOs can read them on a plane and have new opinions for the next meeting after they land.
