Why read it?

Don’t not read because you don’t like the author, read to take the knowledge which I did that I have been able to share with others.
From Angie's list on how to instigate professional and personal change.
I loved this book because it is part self-help, part memoir, and all hilarious! I cracked up the whole way through, but at the same time found so many sections that made me reflect not only on my own life so far, but going forward as well.
