The book's concept is a toolbox, comprising 50 "people tools" that will help readers achieve more in business and life. Illustrating his points with entertaining stories from his own life, Fox encourages readers to adopt tools such as "advertise your mistakes," "don't run out of cash," "be a contrarian", don't try to be right all the time, and focus on the future. The tone is homey but not condescending, and the mix of practical, emotional and behavioral tools make this a guide likely to inspire across the board. "You are the sole proprietor of your own life," proclaims Fox - and it's hard to imagine the reader who wouldn't respond to this upbeat message. (Sept.) -- Publishers Weekly Fox's writing is crisp, informative, and engaging, and it deserves to be read and contemplated by every businessperson - indeed, every person - who truly wants to have a successful business and fulfilling life -- Jeff Friend -- Foreword Book Reviews
