Title: Poorly written but with an occaisional gem
Review: What is best about this book is that it (I believe) conveys certain chinese philosophies regarding success which have not be translated into the western world. This book describes techniques and examples without moral regard, more like a how-to book for nascent dictators. -Thats what I like. The reason for my low rating is three pronged. First, the book is poorly written, some concepts being covered ad nauseum, some not at all. Second, the book is so-selfserving, flattering the reader every chapter that they are so wonderful as to be reading this book. And lastly, the book claims that practicing a black heart can be equated with spirituality. I don't believe this point, and can only guess the author included this concept to make the book palatable to the western reader.
Is the review positive or negative?
