About the book: 2012 / Steve McDermott's book is dedicated to the question that continues to plague numerous consultants, psychologists and psychoanalysts - how to achieve success in life . The peculiarity of this work is that the author builds his argument “by contradiction,” which gives the text a “zest” of irony. By presenting the reader with a diagram of 44 and a half steps to “persistent inferiority,” McDermott forces him to think about his views on life, values, and purpose. The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers.
