          <body><![CDATA[Avoid this book.  It starts out OK, if somewhat berating, and devolves into a personal rant by the author.  In my opinoin this is not a self-help book!

I only held on that long out of raw determination...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48645376">more...</a>]]></body>
