No business autobiography has ever let it all hang out like this one.

In building an unconventionally democratic multinational company that has been named by Fortune, Forbes, and Working Mother magazines as one of the best places to work in America, Paul Orfalea never tamed his impulsive, rebellious nature, and he discusses his flaws and failures with as much enthusiasm as his successes. COPY THIS! is destined to become a classic tale of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Reading.
