Karmic Selling is a hybrid of a guidebook and autobiography written by entrepreneur Stan Gwizdak, a man who managed to make his fortune by helping out others. This is a unique idea, as the stereotype of businessmen and women is that they are cutthroat and willing to do anything to make more money. Here, Gwizdak sees the dangers of a consumable world where people only take and never give back to society. A life-changing incident helped him break out of such a mindset and devote his life to helping people instead. In this book, he shares how he built his empire with this new mindset.

The first unique point that helps this book stand out from other books is the basis of the author's business, as he is devoted to helping people. While some organisations help people, it is rare for the owner or CEO to talk about how he came into the business venture, which can inspire others to do the same thing. The first few pages are quotes from other entrepreneurs who acknowledge and respect his new route.

The autobiography elements of the book are shown in abundance, especially when the author begins to talk about his origins, where he started as a white-collar businessman and didn't enjoy it. It is hinted that he only became one to make money, as he explicitly stated he didn't want to become one. The turning point comes when he talks about his accident and how it changed his life, coupled with exercises to other readers to follow in his footsteps if they want to do the same thing.

A chapter uses features from a guidebook for those who want to start a business based on his concept, as he goes into extreme detail on what to do. This is a valuable tool for the readers if they want an understanding of starting their own business.

Each aspect is highlighted, which is helpful to ensure that the autobiography and guidebook sections are distinct to avoid confusion, coupled with the book's exemplary editing.

There isn't anything I would do to change the book, but the one thing I would love to have read about is his business and how it got started, as well as what the company is about, which can give ideas to other people wanting to get inspiration for their businesses.

Overall, I would give this book a five out of five. It has a unique approach to a business and provides sound advice on starting one based on the concept of doing good. It is enforced by the tale of the author's car accident and his epiphany, which led to the creation of the business, which adds as a selling point to those sceptical about starting a business that revolves around helping people. If you want to create a company based on that concept, Karmic Selling can help you get the general idea.
