3.0 out of 5 stars Ernie's latest zinger, 15 Jul 2003
By Graham (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
While this book may not be as immediately beguiling (at least to this reader) as Ernie Zelinski’s outstanding “The Joy of Not Working”, there are some precious nuggets of wisdom spread throughout its 286 pages.

The “lazy” of the title is an engaging ‘hook’ but something of a misnomer, as Zelinski is by no means suggesting that success can be achieved without hard work. Rather, the thread running through the book is that one can accomplish more by doing less, or working smarter.

The book is written in parallel, with left hand pages of short, pithy sentences for the truly lazy, while right hand pages treat similar themes at greater length. This device works well, enabling readers to pick and choose, dwelling on the parts that pique their interest.

My personal view is that this book will be most useful to younger readers, at the start of their career, though older dogs keen to master new tricks will also find some reward.

2.0 out of 5 stars Tells you riches aren't everything, 4 Mar 2008
By R. Servini "robs882002" (england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The title of the book is misleading- The Lazy Person's Guide to Success gives the notion/idea that you can achieve financial success without much effort. The book then changes tact and says that being rich is not all that it is made out to be. But if you do want to be successful work for yourself and not others. Which is fine but for £14.99 I would have expected more.
It should be entitled work for yourself and read our self motivated phrases which should help you to keep happy cos' the money won't so why am I writing such a book.
