I bought this book as a graduation gift to myself and I was not disappointed. I learned something in every chapter such as in chapter 2: Pull the Tooth in which the author discribed how successful people do not hang on to bad stuff for long.

There's not much turning the other cheek or tolerance here. Just look at a couple of the chapter titles: Don't Play Fair, and Hate Well.
