Yes.. The cliche is true -
Absolutely the must read for anyone starting anything. A company, a project, a non profit, anything that will need an interaction between your "thing" and people.

Due to the medium (printed book), he seems less funny and biting, but more mean.
Perhaps it is easier to be more edgy but funnier in the usual video form that Jon Stewart's inhabits.
Rather go buy the videos of the show than the book.

When he writes... it pretty much guarantees it to be a good book.
But this book is a must read for anyone who wants to know the background, history to why there would be a HUGE run on gold prices in the coming next few years.
