Buy no other business book...L Vo makes Tony Robbins look like a loser. I bought this for a friend, who was in the middle of a 70 hour a week work frenzy, to try and put a smile on his face - and it worked! It's just a very funny take on all the pompous, narcissistic nonsense talked in management & personal development books.
An amazing book - Thank you, L-Vo!

If you're feeling blue about your failures, lack of direction and terrible haircut, this is the book for you. `Don't Be Needy, Be Succeedy', will change your life. Imagine the wisdom of the Dalai Lama, the charisma of Barack Obama and a ponytail that would make Steven Seagal crazy with jealousy - that's L. Vaughan Spencer. After reading the book from cover to cover, I now know the importance of the Alphabet Diet (today I've only consumed Jelly Beans and Jack Daniels) and I'm not afraid to let other people know when they're on the road to imminent failure. They're always thankful in the end. Whether you need a bit of help with your personal life or a kick-start to your career, L-Vo's understanding of people and the need to succeed makes him the ultimate Gangsta Motivator and the best person to make it happen. A hilarious read, with advice that you can really use. Wittily written, completely original - fantastic.
The best business oriented satire since The Office.

If you have ever worked for a company, corporation, or ever might, you have to read this book. Its unerringly accurate portrayal of corporate life is fabulously funny. The politics of business, and the jargon used, is parodied brilliantly. Motivational skills, inter-office relationships and fashion are all covered and show how directly they will affect your ability to be a succeeder. Dietary tips and whole lifestyle changes that other serious books for people who want to be successful, are ripped to pieces in such an intelligent and true-to-life way. There is not one page you will read that will not make you think "I know someone like that or someone that does these things". For every so called consultant, troubleshooter or motivator a company has ever brought in, The Succeeder is a warning to them all. The book works on two levels. Pure humor if you take it at face value. It does, however, have the ability to be a genuine educational read. `Don't Be Needy, Be Succeedy' should be on the booklist for every manager and employee. The world of work would be so much simpler. Your co-workers would actually realize how meaningless phrases such as "touch base" really are. It shows you what not to do, what not to say, and what not to wear. Buy it for everyone in your office NOW! I've bought 3 for leaving presents for co-workers, staff are now looking for new jobs purely in the hope they get a copy too. Don't Be Needy Be Succeedy: The A to Zee of Motivitality
Pay attention, go getters!

This is a very funny take on business motivation. It doesn't take itself seriously for two seconds, but it's all written in a very matter of fact, deadpan way. I laughed out loud several times while reading this - recommended.
