My Mom gave me that book in lieu of a gift certificate for therapy. I read half of it and threw it in the basket of books in the corner of my gym.
Bronson's problem, like all others who write such books, is that he refuses to discuss economics. Most "callings" are of the creative sort, and its the one in a million creative person who becomes the next great novelist, painter, guitarist. In the meantime, we've all got bills to pay.
Someone needs to write a book on how to get your dream job while paying the mortgage. I guess maybe Less should do that now...
