Peak Performance!!!!!!!!

Recently, an email was sent to UM Law students. The email included a link to this webpage. (If you have not yet checked out the webpage please do so now) I'm all for people trying to make a little money, and I can only assume that I will probably write some useless book that nobody is going to read at any minute, but please, a book about succeeding as a young lawyer that is written by someone that IS JUST GRADUATING FROM LAW SCHOOL!!!!
The name of the book is Peak Performance In The Legal Profession which I think is ironic mainly because: 1) he isn't a lawyer 2) he hasn't quite graduated from law school yet 3) he recently presented his "book" in Meredith's seminar (it was his writing requirement) 4) he has only been turned down by The Apprentice three times. The list goes on and on.
For further hilarity please look at how long Mr. Minard has been researching the psychology of peak performance. Yeah, you saw it right, 10 years. Now check and see when he graduated from Cornell. 2002. That makes him 25, give or take, which means that this guy has been "researching the psychology of human peak performance" since he was 15! It might just be me but the whole "decade" claim seems to be a bit of a reach. Honestly, he hasn't even been driving that long! Just for future reference all research that can be included in a book must have occurred after the author has reached the age of majority! (Exceptions include: Stephen Hawking......that is all).
Finally, Mr. Minard's mentors include: "Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Ken Blanchard, Paul Brown, Donald Trump, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Ferraro, David Roehrs, Joseph Moriello and Richard Branson." Which I can only assume means that Mr. Minard has read the books that all of these, more or less, notable people have written. (I've personally only heard of 3 of them).

Anyway, I think that this is quite lame. I now leave you with this bulging, beef-cakey, pic!
