I was actually upset when this showed up because it wasn't first on my list and I wasn't sure I was in the mood to listen to a "How To" or "Business Help" type book. Boy was I wrong! The book was awesome! Well told, entertaining and gave me many ah ha moments. I was only upset to learn it was abridged version....
