Acknowledgments
"With a writing style best described as full-throttle rant, the host of the A&E reality show Big Spender reveals the naked truth about careers... Winget sets a high threshold for delivering a likeable, useful book that will educate and promote behavioral changes. Yet he delivers. His brutal frankness about what's wrong with how businesses--big and small--operate offers a refreshing contrast to other career counseling and management books... Winget's advice is solid: delivering results is the most fulfilling career move one can make."
Publisher's Weekly

"His advice ... is so blunt and so true that it might keep you sane until you retire."
Bloomberg News
