It sounds as if the author is actually suggesting that we redirect sexual energy into getting work done. Like we can somehow flip a switch and replace sex with work. Bad news for this guy, sex is good, and it's good for you. Now, if it's all you think about, certainly you should reevaluate your relationships and why you're being that way. I think it would have been more appropriate to say that an obsession with sex above all other things causes failure. I can't help but think "yeah, but it causes an increase in biological success!" LOL I also got a kick out of #1, the author pretty much states "The number one reason people fail is because they are stupid." Wow, that won't make anyone angry! I think education and personality have more of an impact than actual ability. If you've ever thought your boss was an idiot, then you have seen first hand that intelligence does not really dictate success.

At the time, I thought it was a bunch of BS,especially when he said having too much sex will work against you. Hey we were into "peace and love"!! Well, the only thing that was BS turned out to be my "world view" at the time (20 years old and thought I knew it all).Thankfully I did read the book a few years later,and it's still relevant today. Thanks for posting the refresher notes. PS...Chris, you do a great job with this blog, thank you. I remember a collage professor recommended that book to me back in the seventies.

How many people would honestly believe that they are stupid. I'm not talking about the people with low self esteem that say they can't do something because they're not "smart enough". I'm thinking of the average person on the street who would love to start their own business or make a career move, there's just something missing. After careful introspection, they reach the conclusion that they're a few IQ points short :P Reason number 1 is too funny. How many people would honestly believe that they are stupid.
