“Visualization and ingenuity are the cornerstones of Guffey’s debut, aimed at helping readers transform their inner selves into business leaders in an engaging way…his originality makes this an entertaining read.” ~BookLife Dr. Guff Meister is imaginary, and he knows it. In fact, he claims his make-believe nature gives him a position of authority, a unique perspective, one that isn’t bound by the constraints of reality. Meister encourages readers to create their own version of himself, a stand-in, unrestricted by past experiences, pre-dispositions, or social pressures. As the fake doctor lays out his framework for business success, he demonstrates how this stand-in can bridge gaps in the abilities of the reader, allowing them to excel where they may have fallen short on their own. Dr. Guff’s ideas may seem implausible at times, even delusional ─ a possible side effect of his pretend status ─ but within the implausibility is humor, within the delusion is entertainment, and underneath it all is inspiration. Imaginative, open-minded readers may find the advice thought-provoking and applicable in their own pursuits. The Stool: Building a Platform for Business Success Beyond Your Imagination promotes the development of aspiring businesspeople and enables established executives and entrepreneurs to re-examine the foundations of their success. This original take on business fiction removes the limitations of what is and focusses on the possibilities of what can be, making it a smart investment for those who seek career advancement and those looking to escape the norm.
