GOOD ADVICE FROM BAD PEOPLE
Inspirational Aphorisms from Murderers, Stock Swindlers and Lance Armstrong
A hilarious collection of inspirational aphorisms from murderers, stock swindlers, Lance Armstrong, and other ne’er-do-wells, by one of our brightest young business writers.
The world is full of people telling you how to live your life. Sometimes, though, the advice-givers fall ever so slightly short themselves:
“The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuse, that’s the day you start to the top.” --O.J. Simpson, 1975
“When you know what you are talking about, others will follow you, because it’s safe to follow you.” --Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld, 2006
“It is easier to get into something than to get out of it.” --Donald Rumsfeld, 1974
Bissonnette includes risk management advice from the man who triggered the world’s largest hedge fund collapse, a pair of #1 bestselling relationship experts who married each other and promptly divorced, and gay-prostitute-patronizing pastor Ted Haggard on how to build a marriage that will last a lifetime. This collection of sage wisdom will keep you smiling while you glean all you need to build the life you want... if only you can follow the advice better than the people who gave it. Zac Bissonnette wrote two acclaimed bestsellers before his 24th birthday: Debt Free U (about paying for college) and How to be Richer, Smarter, and Better Looking Than Your Parents (about personal finance for twentysomethings). He has also written for The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The Daily Beast, NYTimes.com, and Mental Floss, among others. A 2011 graduate of the University of Massachusetts, he is currently working on his fourth book. He lives in New York.
