If you are an Amway distributor you will probably like, maybe even love this book. Basically I thought this book was a puff piece book about Amway. Conn calls himself a professional watcher of Amway and its business operation for a long time and that he is not a distributor. After reading this book I found it to be rather one sided and not a very critical look at Amway. Conn also seems to dismiss the few criticisms that people have about Amway and the way they do business.

Not a great read in the current world. Shows some nice practices and principles of a personal sales business. Overall, feels rather like an advertisement of the Amway company, despite the assurance it is not, in the beginning of the book.
