I LOVE THE BOOKS!!! I have read them all!!! All kinds of people can benefit! The above comment was ridiculous! Get a clue, read a book! By the way its "ensure" not "insure"

Carlson certainly doesn't sweat small stuff like writing books. Any person of high school education could write a couple paragraphs each day and produce as many insights as the author does in this minimalist series. But he's a diligent and dedicated marketing genius who understands the reductive mentality of many of us as well as our need to receive confirmation that our own mediocre gifts, perhaps even in writing a wildly successful "book," will be sufficient to insure each of us some small piece of the American Dream. If you admire American enterprisers who get rich through shameless self-promotion, then you may wish to show your friends how they too have what it takes to strike a gold mine. In fact, if your friend saved some of those triple-spaced, cliched essays he wrote in school to meet a 5-page requirement, he may be inspired to dust them off, create a persona, and sell both to a publisher.
