5.0 out of 5 stars
It is a great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Confessions of an S.O.B. (Signet) (Paperback)
A great autobiography by the founder of USA today. I read this book in one sitting and totally admire his fierecely competitive attitude. He made no excuse for being an sob, and did everything to get to the top. He admits that he can be funny, charming to his friends, and a nasty sob to his enemies. His adaptability while maintaining a laser-like focus on the ultimate goal is a lesson for young people to emulate.

Read this book together with Dan Neuharth's book,
By Learning New Ways (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Confessions of an S.O.B. (Plume) (Mass Market Paperback)
Al Neuharth's son, Dan Neuharth, has written a book called: "If You Had Controlling Parents: How To Make Peace With Your Past and Find Your Place In the World" [...]If you read the son's book first and then read this book and you will find Al Neuharth's view of himself as "lovable" quite a fantasy. The son's book is excellent help for adult children of narcissistic parents, and quite well reviewed, unlike this book. I'm not sure that success in business or publishing even requires the enormous betrayals Al Neuharth performed to others in his industry or to his family.

Wonderfully written!!,
By ruben (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CONFESSIONS OF AN SOB (Hardcover)
I enjoyed reading this book. Al was definitley a loveable S.O.B..The man really built an empire in spite of all the critics that believed an National paper was a ridiculous idea. He did it with style, grace, and charm. The book also reminded me of an old saying "every failure plants a seed of an equivalent success."
