What is the real meaning of success? The man known as ?King of Negotiators? says that millions of Americans who have acquired the trappings of success -- money, fame, status, and power -- do not feel successful. Ed Brodow, author of Negotiation Boot Camp, challenges our toxic definition of success in Getting A Success Change: How to Be Happy in a World Gone Mad. With insight, humor, and self-revelation, Brodow argues that fame and fortune can lead to addictions and violence, that getting fired may be the solution to your problems, and that the only real way to succeed is your way. By absorbing Brodow's rule breaking ideas, you will learn the skills for negotiating with ? or against -- the system in order to pursue and secure the career and lifestyle of your dreams.

You will learn why:
? Failure is often better than success
? Many people are happier without fame and fortune
? The system does not want you to succeed
? Changing careers is good for you
? Retirement is a bad joke
? Following your bliss is better than following the herd

Getting A Success Change is the first step to dealing with the real question: If I feel discontented with my life, why don't I do something about it?
