When the third person told me TPE is a must read, I recognized this was my tipping point. I just finished reading it. I wish I could say I got my money's worth. I honestly can't say that -- in fact, I'm not sure what this is worth. I acknowledge that it has absolutely invaluable information for the right person, but that's clearly not me.
The problem is you need to get past the shock-jock approach, and ignore the blatant potty humor to discover the genuine nuggets it contains. In fact, the book contains a number of powerful concepts and even viable courses of action for a fledgling or established organization -- at least for someone with the patience and fortitude to do the digging. It's a bitter-sweet experience, since this book truly has cutting edge concepts I have never heard of before.
I believe it's unfortunate that the author chose this approach, I'm certain it will limit it's appeal. Mainstream media (and business book readers) will avoid this like the plague.
In summary, I have literally read hundreds of business how-to books of a similar ilk. I'm an entrepreneur, I'm always searching for an advantage.
Some of the best: Good to Great, Emyth Mastery and Emyth Revisited are the top of my list. This book could be there but for one reason -- it is like talking advice from your golfing buddy as opposed to a trustworthy, polished academic. I give it an A for content, but an F- for delivery.
Sorry Mr. Michalowicz, when talking to professionals like us, you need to be a professional yourself. I encourage you to give it a go again with another book -- just learn to speak the way we all want to be spoken to. Until then, I will be surprised if a fourth person recommends the book -- I only have three golfing buddies.
