There was a post several months ago about a book on success.

I feel like the title was “The ## laws of success” or rules or something. There was about 40 rules or laws if I remember.

And they were kinda cutthrought rules too. Nothing nice about this book. I also think it was published at least 15 years ago.  
Thanks in advance.
