This is definitely NOT a typical business book! It doesn't contain any of the usual cliches or how-to-sell bromides found in most others;instead, it's a funny book about the insurance industry that is informative as well. This book reveals a lot about a business that I knew very little about, yet it reads like a memoir. Not to sound trite, but I got to some parts and couldn't put the book down until I finished! I laughed out loud at some of the experiences he has had through the years, and I think that anyone who has been in the business for any amount of time will really appreciate the insights. I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, which are very appropriate for the content and fun. This really was an enjoyable book!

This is a humorous yet philosophical memoir covering over thirty years in the insurance profession. The author has tried his hand at several different positions, as an agent, a manager, and many home office management positions, and every stop is described with clever wit and humor. I really enjoyed reading this book, and could definitely relate to his experiences and insights. I think anyone who's considering this profession or has been involved in it for any amount of time should read this book!
