behind the smoke and mirrors
Paperback - 199 pages (September 1, 1999) Backstreet Publishing; ISBN: 0967107024



Amway Motivational Organizations: Behind the Smoke and Mirrors by Ruth Carter

A former Emerald-level Amway distributor, Ruth Carter brings us an eye-opening expose of what occured during her 5 years at what Amway distributors tout as "the best business opportunity in the world." Of the 5 million Americans who have been involved in Amway in its 40-year history, less than 1% have made a profit and less than one-tenth of one percent have established incomes that they claim are achievable by anyone. She delves into the deception, cultism, and greed prevalent in the Amway business.

Ruth Carter writes: "I feel compelled to send this to you after having emerged from one of the Amway motivational cults. I did not try this out and leave as a disgruntled distributor... I built this to the Emerald level with business literally spanning the globe. What I discovered at this level was widespread systematic deceit of the highest order. My wife and I gave up years of our life (and that of our children) for this ... the "freedom" I bought as an Emerald was a non stop 24-7 work week with little or no time for family and friends. I hope and pray that your book spares many of the Amway/Quixtar cultish nightmare that we have endured." - The Digest Editors

putting together your lifestyle portfolio
Paperback - 12 pages (November 10, 1997) Sunrise Salutations; ISBN: 1928697011
Putting Together Your Lifestyle Portfolio by Diane Gustwiller

You usually can't judge a book by its cover. In this case, you probably can though.

First off, the "book" looks as if it was printed on someone's inkjet printer in the low resolution mode. None of the pages are numbered, but it looks to be around 16 pages long, and is stapled in the center.

The content? Not much to speak of. The book suffers from so many typographical errors as to make one laugh out loud. There are even misspellings on the cover! Obviously, no editor came anywhere near this thing. You'd think that if the author were a successful MLM entrepreneur that she could at least afford a word processor with spell-checking.
