"Buy This Book and You Might Feel Better"

Seriously, I could use the money, even if I only get $0.67 a few months down the road after I have completely lost the will to live.

I promise I won't "congratulate" you for buying my ebook. What kind of sick Stepford idiot writes that kind of thing?

I also promise I won't pad this book with any other similar useless fluff or even promotions for my other works, because I have observed that most of my catalog really just adds to the Kindle clutter with no real benefit to anyone, least of all myself.

I also promise not to include fake success stories to illustrate each of the diamond(s) of success-oriented thinking I am about to share with you, as positive-thinking writers of decades past did.

Sorry for having wasted your time with this preface.

---

DIAMOND ONE: Optimism is always better than pessimism, even when it seems foolish, even when it seems completely unwarranted.

[What the hell, Amazon! That wasn't supposed to be included in the Kindle preview!]

Buy my book - How to get rich not spending money on silly things.

Special offer, buy one for the low low price of $56 and get 'how to lose weight by not having enough money to buy food' for the limited price of $120 per week, note that payments made by card will be charged twice and never refunded.

You're welcome.

If people start digging their own grave what are you going to do for work? Sure you might sell a few books but you know they're going to be passed around and generally ripped off, didn't think this one through me thinks.

The Very Last Self-Help Book You'll Ever Buy

which explains in detail how self-help books sucker people into buying them, especially this one, you sucker, for example by convincing people there's something wrong with them. You're definitely not OK. Sucker!
