    Steven McDermott, author of How to be a Complete and Utter Failure in Life, Work and Everything, begins his book with a warning about his self-unimprovement guide: "The quickest, most concise, most complete guide to complete and utter failure ever written. This book will help you flop at leadership, communication, teamwork, customer service and more. You'll find dozens of techniques guaranteed to help you fail and disappoint everyone in your life." McDermott true purpose with such an absurd statement is to get the readers of this book to begin thinking differently. Too often we get locked into a prescribed way of what we "think" we need to be successful and happy.
