No.
Just a bad copy of the advice given in other books.

I have a whole Excel spreadsheet with books I've read and some notes so it is easier to find the advice/quote/information I'm looking for. For books I really liked I bought a hardcopy and took countless notes on paper, sticky notes, highlighted things.

Here is a short list:
Benjamin Francklin's Autobiography
Brian Tracy & Colin Rose - Accelerated Learning
7 Habits of Highly Effective People
No More Mr. Nice Guy
Total Recall - Arnold Schwarzenegger
The Way Of Men
Philip K. Dick (love his books)
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins
Dune - Frank Herbert
Confessions of a Yakuza von Jun'ichi Saga
Conversations with Major Dick Winters
The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics

everything you can say is useful

Prentice Hall Economics & Corporate Finance by Stephen Ross

two great no meme books about Economics/Finance related topics

Just read "Good to Great". It's an awesome book.

I really like reading books on sales techniques, fuck Dale Carnegie, that's all common sense.
SNAP Selling - How to get the attention of busy potential clients, really good framework is discus
Same Side Selling - think of solutions for the customer, don't talk product. Apparently another good one with a similar vibe is "The Challenger", sell what others ain't
Inside Private Equity - Ausfag Venture Capitalist and PE dude reflects on the times he got it right and wrong. Really interesting seeing how important personalities are.
Don't Send a CV - write a letter explaining how you can add value instead
How to Kill a Unicorn - case studies and reflections from a consultancy firm on how they created new opportunities for clients. Covers a bunch of industries too just like PE one.

After you read it, continue with these two:
Starting with No
Never split the difference

I teach/do consulting on negotiation, and those 3 books can give you a great skill set on that area. You can and will apply almost everything you learn in those books in one or another area of your life.
I recommend you read them in that order because of this:
Getting to Yes: Principled (Harvard) negotiation, abandoning initial negotiation postures (I want X) and getting to the real desires (What i REALLY need/want is Y), it teaches negotiation seen a a rational process and focuses on dealing with needs and wants, teaches negotiation as a non-emotional situation.
Starting with NO: Real negotiations starts when somebody says no and both parties can start the negotiation process. Also starts taking emotions on account in the negotiation process and how can they be used, affected or influence in the negotiation process.
Never split the Difference: Very entertaining because the differente examples used, it focuses more on emotions and how to create, elicit and use them in both sides of the negotiation.

IMHO, those 3 books can make you go from 0 to hero in that area pretty fast.

Wow thanks a ton for this.

I just google terms as soon as they come up. Investopedia rules.

Thanks for the recommendations. I downloaded a sample chapter of Getting to Yes the other day and I like how it's very against the notion of a zero-sum game in negotiation.
