This collection of essays from the 1970´s sets just the right tone. It´s not written as a how-to or motivational speech most of the time, it includes a renowned, likeable, charismatic pitcher of multi-level marketing concepts who, by the time of the interview, was already on the way to a long conviction for fraud, and it includes a fascinating interview with 2 men born in the same neighborhood at the same time, one now a homeless man called "banana nose", one a famous, seemingly unhappy, but wealthy man.
The list of traits common to the very rich is also quite interesting.
