Title: Title should be, "Profiles of the Powerful and Self Destructive"
Product review: Today, about half way through this book I closed the cover and put the book away. I purchased the book to read about qualities of successful people - interested in role models.Along with successful qualities, the overreaching message I am getting from this author is the qualities that made the person successful also contributed to the persons self destruction. It is as if the author hand selected people who he could destruct once he wrote about their positive qualities.If you are looking for a book that talks of people who are positive role models then look elsewhere. This book is depressing, grotesque at points, gives too much information about the negative of these folks - I'm not sure what the authors definition of success is - self destruction is not in my definition of success AND I am certain there are successful people who do not self destruct and destroy themselves.It is rare I don't finish a book. This one was sickening.
