I guess I could say one good thing about it: by listening to the unabridged audio of the book, read by the author, I feel that I got to know him. And he's a jerk.
A few tips for the next edition, Jeffrey: 1) Remove all profanity. It isn't the language of business. 2) Don't use your book as an ad for selling me your other books and your website content every page or so. If the content was that good and that indispensable, you should have included it here instead of mentioning it here and telling me where to go get it. 3) Don't encourage dishonest ways to sell. 4) Don't focus only on business-to-business sales made by cold calling and going out on appointments to make presentations. 5) Update the book. I can't believe that it was even current in 2005 when it came out, since some of your big advice centers on buying a laptop computer and listening to tapes in the car. 6) Rename the book. It has more to do with keeping a positive attitude than any sales skills. 7) Spend more time telling me what to do, rather than telling me what not to do. 8) Lose the .5 on everything. Really, really irritating after about the first chapter. 8.5) Don't mock your customers/students/readers.
