After reading my self-disclosure, above, it seems to me there’s no way I can like this book. But actually I do. Just not its stated purpose.
Josh Kaufman wanted to go to business graduate school, but was lucky enough to get what he calls an undergraduate MBA, and then an MBA-level job with Proctor & Gamble, a Fortune 50 company. Serious about his business self-education, Kaufman continued to read widely while working, eventually blogging about what he was reading on the Internet. After a while, and after a steady drumbeat of self-promotion, his postings gathered widespread attention, and he wound up with a lot of followers, which led to his writing this book.
