Expose Fatigue: The Shorter and Shorter Shelf Lives of "Caesars," Bully Market," "Servants of the Damned," and Whatever Other Dirt Will Be Dished

 When hatchet job on Wall Street and Big Law - "The Caesars Palace Coup" - came out in March 2021 it got a lot of attention. For a while. That had been sustainable for about 12 months. Since then, it's in Amazon rankings hell at 250,619. 

More recent exposes probably won't even have that good a run. Already another hatchet job, this time focused narrowly on Goldman Sachs - "Bully Market" - is already down to 27,990. That was fast. It seems like just yesterday that its author Jamie Fiore Higgins was jaw-jawing on "Today." 

And the slam on Big Law out about six weeks ago - "Servants of the Damned" - wobbled down to 12,894.

Meanwhile, the how-to for entrepreneurs "Zero to One" by venture capitalist Peter Thiel is at 2,398. It had been originally published in 2014.

Do the math. Obviously the market favors positivity. Thiel explains if you do this and don't do that you could have a shot at launching and growing a successful enterprise. BTW, don’t attempt to simulate another Facebook. There has been one of those. Innovate something different.

Isn’t success, not vilifying Wall Street or large law firms, the national preoccupation in this crazy 21st century? Clients for my intuitive career coaching practice are focused on transcending challenges in their jobs and business ownership, not ranting about what they perceive as wrong. The mindset is pragmatism. 

Overall, it could be that the genre in book publishing - the expose - is become an anachronism. Also, despite how negativity has taken over much of social media, don't we favor inspiring angles on whatever? Mackenzie Scott (Jeff Bezos' former wife) is America's new sweetheart. Instead of being in the front lines of feminism woke she contributes $84.6 million to the Girl Scouts. That organization teaches young girls skills for self-confidence and independence. 

Of course, there is the risk of what's known as "toxic positivity." But in the current darkness it would take a whole lot of that kind of light to turn the culture rancid. 

Tell us about the couple in Mountain Vista Mobile Park, Sierra Vista, Arizona, who reached out to find the owner of a lost smartphone. Resourcefully, they dialed the last number which had called that phone. That was from me. Together we got the phone back to the distressed senior citizen who had misplaced it. That story has been circulating in our community since Friday. Its reach probably is significantly more of a mood game-changer than the social media outcry against the influence of the smartphone. 

Actually in some circles the shift to what's uplifting without being 1950s happy-clappy Disney/Hallmark is what has become sticky. Much overdue is a documentary on what big, such as Apple, Stanford University, and law firm Paul Weiss, has accomplished for humanity.
