Why read it?
2 authors picked Before & Laughter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I laughed and cried whilst reading this book which was recommended by my youngest son.
Jimmy explored the management of the day-to-day life of someone who is seen as a successful person apart from trying to dodge his taxes. I would say it is cynical, but funny with it. Don’t not read because you don’t like the author, read to take the knowledge which I did that I have been able to share with others.
From Angie's list on how to instigate professional and personal change.
I loved this book because it is part self-help, part memoir, and all hilarious! I cracked up the whole way through, but at the same time found so many sections that made me reflect not only on my own life so far, but going forward as well.
It’s one of those books
I know I will read again, and that each time I do I will find more little gems
in there.
