Editorial Reviews

Review

'I'm a Succeeder in a long line of Succeeders. Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, Tim Henman and Phil Collins - all undoubtedly used my methods.' - L-Vo, Self-Help Guru and Gangsta Motivator. 'This is, quite possibly, the only business book you should ever bother reading.' Stefan Stern, Financial Times. 'The perfect antidote to the endless bogus management consultants and coaches who ply the corporate circuit.' Sunday Telegraph. 'L. Vaughan Spencer is to life coaching what Alan Partridge is to broadcasting. Neil Mullarkey is a very funny man indeed.' - Metro. "This book is hilarious! Smart and silly. Really funny." - Mike Myers. 'Superb pastiche of self-help gurus. It's Borat meets The Office'. - Sunday Times. 'This book changed my life. I thought I was but an humble pub landlord, but now I realise I am an Hospitality Management Executive' - Al Murray the Hospitality Management Executive. 'Without him, I'd be nothing' - Richard Branson. 'This book made me laugh lots. Now I understand so much more about commerce and skincare.' - Nick Hancock. 'Neil Mullarkey is very, very, very, very funny.' - Eddie Izzard. 'Very funny and surprisingly useful. It helped me learn about business.' Tony Hawks. 'Every line of this book is a slogan for Life - you need never have an original thought again. This is a life coach - with legroom, reclining seats and frequent toilet breaks. LVo has the makings of a complete cult.' And, as Shakespeare would have written: Where LV succeeds there succeed I.' - Robert Bathurst. 'Will make you cry with laughter. Or possibly pain.' - People Management. 'Brilliant work. Very funny indeed - reminded me why I like L-Vo so much. Delicious relief from these grim times.' - Luke Johnson (Chairman of Channel 4 and Borders). 'Just the sort of man we need in these credit crunch days...the ultimate must-have Christmas present for your lacklustre friends.' - Arthur Smith. 'It's a mix of my old two 11 O'Clock Show faves, Ali G and Ricky Gervais, and unusually for a dictionary-style book, is one you can read in one sitting ... This book comes with the promise that buying two copies will make you even more successful than buying just one, but you might like to make it three just to be on the safe side.' - The Bookbag. 'Quite possibly, the only business book you should ever bother reading' Stefan Stern, FT.


Product Description

“Hilarious! Laughed out loud from start to finish. So much great material. Silly and smart. Bravo.”—Mike Myers

“Without him, I’d be nothing.”—Richard Branson

In a hilarious satire of the corporate self-improvement industry, the character L. Vaughan Spencer puts his wisdom into book form. This ultra-observant how-not-to guide, on everything from clothes and hairstyles to spellology and 720-degree feedback, is a based on a successful stage show that won the Edinburgh Fringe Report Award for Best Satire.

L. Vaughan Spencer (Neil Mullarkey) co-founded Britain’s top improvisation troupe, The Comedy Store Players. He has also acted in several films, including two Austin Powers movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pay attention, go getters!, March 9, 2009
By Mr W (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
This is a very funny take on business motivation. It doesn't take itself seriously for two seconds, but it's all written in a very matter of fact, deadpan way. I laughed out loud several times while reading this - recommended.
