What amuses me about all these books is that they showcase a group of over-brainy already-successful people, and then sell these books to the rest of us averagers. Telling us we can do it too. And we lap it all up, not seeing the gaps.

You know what would really succeed? Finding out how an averager can achieve breakout success and then selling it to all the other averagers. And I'm not talking weird concepts and books like Psycho-cybernetics etc.
