    <body><![CDATA[Not only is this book in my top ten, but I read it annually. It really is a phenomenal little tome for anyone who wants to step out of mediocrity without stepping on anyone else.  Never preachy, never boring, and packed with great anecdotes and fantastic advice.<br/><br/>HIGHLY recommended. <br/>...]]></body>
