"Any book that tells the reader how to kill other people without feeling bad about it is appalling and immoral. How wonderful!" Nick Webb, author of The Dictionary of Bullshit. The world is full of charlatans, imposing their phony theories and ineffective nostrums on the rest of us, and no one is immune to their charms. Unless, of course, we join their ranks. HOW TO BE A CHARLATAN explains the charlatan's world in ten easy lessons. It explores their psychology and that of their followers, the market for their product and the techniques of selling it, as well as providing practical guidance as to how you too may set about abusing the trust of other people for your own benefit. Each lesson comes with tables containing handy tips on matters such as how to stay ahead of the police and not get murdered, and the arguments are illustrated with examples from history's great charlatans. Indeed there are even footnotes referring to real books written by perfectly respectable authors. Dr. Williams has actually read some of them. "This is a book designed to appeal to your inner vain, greedy, lustful, vengeful megalomaniac. I wish I'd written it." Richard Hugo, author of The Hitler Diaries. Dr Williams is a lawyer, historian, linguist, sociologist and internationally recognised author. He is the founder of the Institute for Applied Charlatanry. He has no criminal convictions and is not currently wanted by the police.

The inspiration for the 2016 Sundance Film Festival documentary, NUTS!. “An extraordinary saga of the most dangerous quack of all time...entrancing” –USA Today In 1917, John R. Brinkley–America’s most brazen con man–introduced an outlandish surgical method for restoring fading male virility. It was all nonsense, but thousands of eager customers quickly made “Dr.” Brinkley one of America’s richest men–and a national celebrity. The great quack buster Morris Fishbein vowed to put the country’ s “most daring and dangerous” charlatan out of business, yet each effort seemed only to spur Brinkley to new heights of ingenuity, and the worlds of advertising, broadcasting, and politics soon proved to be equally fertile grounds for his potent brand of flimflam. Culminating in a decisive courtroom confrontation, Charlatan is a marvelous portrait of a boundlessly audacious rogue on the loose in an America ripe for the bamboozling.

The New York Times bestseller that gives “readers with an entrepreneurial turn of mind . . . road maps on how millionaires found their niches” (USA Today). The author of the blockbuster bestseller The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America’s Wealthy shows how self-made millionaires have surmounted shortcomings such as average intelligence by carefully choosing their careers, taking calculated risks, and living balanced lifestyles while maintaining their integrity. Dr. Thomas J. Stanley also builds on his research from The Millionaire Next Door and takes us further into the psyche of the American millionaire. Stanley focuses in on the top one percent of households in America and tells us the motor behind the engine; what makes them tick. His findings on how these families reached such financial success are based on in-depth surveys and interviews with more than thirteen hundred millionaires. “A very good book that deserves to be well read.” —The Wall Street Journal “Worth every cent . . . It’s an inspiration for anyone who has ever been told that he wasn’t smart enough or good enough.” —Associated Press “A high IQ isn’t necessarily an indicator of financial success . . . Stanley tells us that the typical millionaire had an average GPA and frugal spending habits—but good interpersonal skills.” —Entertainment Weekly “Ideas bigger than the next buck.” —Orlando Sentinel
