Catch Me If You Can The Amazing True Story of the Most Extraordinary Liar in the History of ... Book

"What I learned from this book," Goodreads asks? That "con man" really does mean "confidence man": the more you act like you deserve something, the more likely you are to get it.

A precocious child who devised clever modes of personal gain, Frank A. grew into an even smarter man. He faked college degrees, professional affiliations, career histories - pretty much everything, including his name. Without any relevant schooling, throughout his life he "was" (meaning he successfuly convinced people he was) a pilot, doctor and college professor, among others. Amazing.

This is a great book and a real inspiration for those who believe the mantra: what people don't know won't hurt them - and will probably help me.
