Smart & funny

This guy doesn't cut any slack ... he assumes we're somewhat like him -- full of fantasies and a tendency to procrastinate...and he tells it like it (probably) is. I just finished reading it -- and notice that it's a few years old...some of the references sound a bit dated, but the information is still wise and delicious.
