These are the musings of a master genius spitting out the secrets of the universeto help you become just like him. Be forewarned: in opening this tome and Leon's mind, you need to be prepared for straight talk.

All the while you think you're helping itbut really it's helping you help yourself! Because that's how this book doozit. Leon Black, he ain't wrong...he just ain't right.
