Summary: "How to be obnoxious and pushy in thirty days or less"
Review: This book is an obvious self-promotional vehicle for the author and has a total lack of any practical advice for the reader. Reading it is difficult, as it is filled with really obnoxious all caps and italicized words, seemingly intended to "energize" her "advertising copy" style of writing. I found the author to be a very selfish and pushy person. Her advice centers around trying to get ahead of people in order to have a personal assistant to treat as a slave, and to impress others with your important job. This is a very short term and shallow idea of success, and I think it is almost dangerous to advise people to have that kind of attitude. Having encountered such people in the workplace, I saw them experience some limited success, but also alienate others and ultimately be quite miserable. I'm also skeptical of her credentials- she claims she has several tv shows in "development" (This is the purgatory of television, and really means nothing) and is a freelance writer, but besides making a lot of money, she doesn't seem to have too many tangible accomplishments. I suppose that is the curse of self-help books though, no one with real success is likely to write books like this. In a nutshell, I strongly disliked this book, and I think it has limited use for anyone.

Summary: whipped my career booty!
Review: Wow, what an inspiring book. I love how Salmansohn mixes humor with really smart business advice. I also loved her HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT A PENIS and HOW TO BE HAPPY, DAMMIT books. That's how I discovered this WHIP book, because I loved those other two so much...I keep buying them for friends for birthday gifts! Kudos to Karen! She rocks!
