Yes, to be a successful loser, one must adhere to the credo the author has laid down in these inspired pages. Deviation from these destructive traits could cause the determined loser to derail his disastrous existence and actually end up getting a life! This book will at the same time prevent the sharp, solid, and smart ones from lathering, rinsing, and repeating the deeds of the disastrous ones. For a good laugh, read up and then run in the opposite direction of these principles of disaster.

In this book, Doug teaches you how to achieve great goals by learning to overcome obstacles and reach the upper limits of your genetic potential. In adopting what he calls the 46 Attack Mindset, he challenges you to use your influence and work to make the last thing you ever do - the greatest thing you ever do.
