<p>Dear Reader&nbsp;</p><p>Knowledge success hope&mdash;this book will provide you with none of these things.&nbsp;</p><p>For those who are curious to check out the contents and &ldquo;guidance&rdquo; provided in this book I would like to offer a brief but important warning before you embark on your treacherous journey. I am this book&rsquo;s editor. I have thoroughly handled absorbed and regurgitated the contents of this book over and over again and while most of the content in this &ldquo;self-help&rdquo; book is in my professional opinion completely ridiculous and easily recognized as such I fear that some of you who read this book may sadly find yourselves duped by Joel&rsquo;s terrible advice.&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking modestly <em>Keys to Success from a Completely Unsuccessful Person</em>&nbsp;represents is a collection&nbsp;of thoughts ideas and errant opinions from&nbsp;the delusional mind of a self-proclaimed self-help guru. Somehow Joel has miraculously and single-handedly compiled more nonsense utter gibberish and complete lunacy into one book than any other author in all of human history that I am presently aware of.</p><p>Again while I do believe that the majority of readers will find themselves deeply amused at the sheer idiocy in this anthology of stupidity I fear that some poor souls may just get sucked into the author&rsquo;s delusions. For that reason I have provided this warning to please disregard Joel&#39;s terrible advice.&nbsp;For most readers I expect and hope that they will be amused by the book&rsquo;s clear guidance on how <em>not </em>to find success and find humor in what&nbsp;the book attempts to instruct them to do.&nbsp;</p><p>Perhaps most importantly I believe that although&nbsp;my hand was forced to publish this book of unrefined&nbsp;nonsense&nbsp;by Joel and my superiors&nbsp;Joel will finally be exposed to the world for who he really is&mdash;a completely unsuccessful person.&nbsp;</p>
