The book doesn't contain any financial or life altering information that will help you "become a millionaire." It is entirely composed of small snippets of common sense recommendations on customer service, leadership, reputation, negotiation, integrity, credibility, and a few other business issues. The author recommends in Tip #304 that "To maximize your time, carry a handheld recorder and dictate your thoughts each day; otherwise, some of your best ideas will be lost. P.S. I dictated this entire book on a handheld recorder while working to work over the course of the summer." That fact is evident to the reader.
The book is a just a long list of superficial platitudes. My question is how did it become A Wall Street Journal Bestseller? Wouldn't all the those Wall Street professionals have learned all these tips in business 101?
