That is the idea behind politics and mentorship. 

This book centers around ethical bluffing and how you can use it to your advantage.

The business world also has a sufficient number of giants, on the shoulders of whom any aspiring entrepreneur can stand. 

This book beautifully examines the lives of fifty of the world's greatest entrepreneurs, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and the peculiar characteristics or strategies that made them rich, famous, and so successful.
