Good Advice From Bad People is a daringly original humor book based on real quotes from murderers, stock swindlers, and other ne'er-do-wells.
The world is full of people telling you how to live your life. Sometimes though, the advice-givers fall ever so slightly short themselves. For instance:
'The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuse, that's the day you start to the top.' O.J. Simpson, 1975
'When you know what you are talking about, others will follow you, because it's safe to follow you.' Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld, 2006
'I think the most important thing is restore a sense of idealism and end the cynicism.' Future Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, 2002
'It is easier to get into something than to get out of it.' Donald Rumsfeld, 1974
Bissonnette also includes risk management advice from the man who triggered the world's largest hedge fund collapse; a pair of #1 bestselling relationship experts who married each other and promptly divorced; and gay-prostitute-patronizing pastor Ted Haggard on how to build a marriage that will last a lifetime.
The result will keep you smiling while you glean all the wisdom you need to build the life you want . . . if only you can follow it better than the people who gave it.
