Right On, Wrong!
7 July 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is short, but boy is it packed with goodies! It's refreshing to read about really rich or smart or successful people who made some of the same dumb mistakes we all do. Makes them more human and real, and makes me laugh at my own mistakes. Kudos to the author. Great idea!

A slim collection of re-hashed Internet e-mail anecdotes.
1 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was very dissappointed with this book. For me, it was a split between re-hashed anecdoates that I've received 100 times via group e-mail and a filmography of who-almost-got-the-part in old movies I've never seen.
I guess I was expecting a little more substance. My copy was only about 90 pages long (10 cents per page) and each page contained 3 or 4 little quotes. Few of these quotes seemed to represent "big" missteps or miscalculations and many of the subjects could not have "known better."
I would have preferred the book focus on more important issues and explore each one further so that we can learn from the mistakes of others.
Maybe it's because I'm not an "I told you so" kind of person, but I can't imagine who would enjoy this book.
