“Hustad delves into a century of "success books," looking for bits that might help her more sensitive and creative friends thrive in a corporate world. She finds advice from Andrew AND Dale Carnegie, Emily Post, even Helen Gurley Brown and Donald Trump, such gems as "Why 'Just Be Yourself' is Such Bad Advice" and "The right way and the wrong way to be self-deprecating."
Though I don't have much interest in reading books like "How to Win Friends and Influence People" or "7 Habits of Successful People," Hustad's take on the subject was delightful, and I've already started trying some of the things she talks about. Good stuff.”
