    Career Success without a Real Job - simply Excellent!by YouakimHome

    October 19, 2009: One of the BEST books I have read so far, I could not put the book down. It is inspiring, honest, motivating and genuine. Career Success without a Real Job is very enjoyable and easy to read, it is simple and to the point. I also loved many many quotes in it and Ernie's great sense of humour. This is a book that I will read many times and is a valuable addition to my home library. It is a fantastic guide for anyone who dreams about living life to the fullest doing what he or she loves love to do, but is too conditionned by the "what if's", and does not know how to take the first step, this book will definitely help. Thank you for sharing you great thoughts Ernie!

    Attention Noncorporate Types and Nonconformistsby Inkline

    May 11, 2009: There aren't many books on the market about following your dreams in life. This book is one of them and it's really good because it helps people with some of the more practical aspects, such as business know-how and marketing. It'll help you to survive and make a modest living. It makes a compassionate and humorous argument for choosing to do work you're passionate and purposeful about, instead of chasing after money and traditional success, as the majority, the herd is doing. Ernie advise people not to be such conformists. Be different! Be daring! Be unconventional/unorthodox! And success will more surely be yours. He encourages us to be more creative. It's a fantastic and very fun book. Artists of all types will benefit immensely.

    If this books had been available in the 1960s, then maybe so many baby boomers, many of whom were hippies, wouldn't all have cut their hair, put on a suit (or dress clothes) and have essentially conformed to the establishment in order to make the big bucks, buy a big house, buy an expensive car, etc. (Selling Out).
