Why would the co-founder of a global investment firm write a book called The "Poor Me" Manual?

Dear thomas,
Why would the co-founder of a global investment firm write a book called The “Poor Me” Manual: Perfecting Self-Pity—My Own Story?
His story begins with an author’s note: One crisp sunny morning I was surprised to find a package left at my front door containing this book in manuscript form. Its author included a note saying that his last name was Lewis, that he had seen a book of mine, and that he had decided to adopt my name as his own. In addition, he expected me to publish his (our) book and that the cover should be “nice.” I have tried to do as requested. What follows is a rollicking fictional memoir that takes us through the ups and downs of the mysterious author’s life, recounting every scheme, every misstep, every imaginable kind of neurotic behavior along the way. There is method to this madness. It’s fun reading, as well as an interesting new approach to understanding how people make mistakes in their lives, and then realign their behavior accordingly. The reader will learn a great deal about which emotional strategies work, and which do not. Included is a guide to 20 different ways that people go off-track emotionally. So why did the author write this particular book? Because he has adolescent children! And he knows that there is much of the teenager in all of us, no matter what our age.

Hunter Lewis, co-founder of global investment firm Cambridge Associates, has written nine books on psychology and economics, including the widely acclaimed Are the Rich Necessary? (“Highly provocative and highly pleasurable.”—New York Times). Regards, David Riklan Editor - Self Improvement Newsletter Founder - SelfGrowth.com
