This book talks about working on ourselves to be fulfilled in all areas of our life. To create a name and place in the world, the real world, where there is jealousy and competition. This world, in which we live, is not always fair, and recognition and accolades do not go to the most deserving person. It talks about not being at the receiving end and making sure your interests are not trampled upon. It is not about being vindictive or aggressive, it is about not getting cowed down by those who are being selfish and mean to you and making your headway difficult, but bashing on regardless sometimes despite them, sometimes because of them.
