> Interesting perspective. Is it your belief that people read these as how-to or self-help books?

My friends and acquitances definitely read these books to glean some sort of inspiration/hidden jem that would start them on path to riches.

My life has no parallel to lives of these people and there's nothing I could copy.

It's my opinion that the odds of me being a CEO of a huge Corp are same as a person who is homeless for years going through college and getting a job making six figures.
