Go ahead an buy it. It's probably quite interesting.

Most people do have something in their lives which they feel insecure about, which is why these type of books sell like wildfire. He's using the foremost technique of manipulation, which is to press the giant red buttons in people's heads. Usually I would like to read things like this, but due to the layout of the website I'm guessing that the content is mainly poor quality with a few good insights here and there.
Hey Eric,

No, I meant the posts on this forum about it were good food for thought. This guy won't say anything about who he is, so I wouldn't consider spending money on his book.

I'm sure there's plenty of other good books out there about persuasion..
