Reactions:
“I’ve always liked Carol Leifer even as I thought of her as a B-List standup comedian. While she doesn’t have the charisma of Bill Cosby, or the clever sharp wit of Joan Rivers or the unpredictability of Jerry Seinfeld, she is steady and consistent in her work onstage. I would not hesitate to see her show again. And so it is the same with her book, “How to Succeed in Business without Really Crying.” I will admit the subtitle threw me: “Lessons from a Life in Comedy.” It led you to think you were reading an autobiography, rather than a business self-help book. Oh, there are several anecdotes and a vague tracing of her jobs over the years, and in the last chapter she pens a few words about her parents, but nothing extensive or too specific.” – Zoeeagleeye
“I laughed out loud many times as I was reading your book and shared a lot of your stories with my husband. We are both huge Seinfeld fans and I particularly enjoyed reading your stories from the time you spent on that show. You have achieved so much and you are extremely talented. I look forward to one day seeing you perform your stand-up show. In the meantime, I am going to go out and get your other book and I’m sure I will love it.” – Happy Mom
“I found this autobiographical self-help book full of cute anecdotes from Carol Leifer’s past. I can’t say I learned a ton that I will be able to apply to my own business dealings, but there are useful morsels of advice for those few who find themselves in similar situations. I thought the book was interesting and enjoyable given the perspective and style of writing.” – J. Finkle
“The advice she gives is solid stuff I already know but wish I had learned earlier. I’d sum up most of it as variations on “Love what you do” and “Work really hard at it, because you love it so much.” She’s trying to save people time, confusion, and heartache. I know it takes relentless drive to succeed in show business especially; because you compete with a lot of people who have at least as much talent, but the lessons is transferable to almost any other profession. Nevertheless, the level of Leifer’s dedication and passion for work surprised me. She’s been at it for forty years in a business which has a short memory, and she shows no signs of slowing down. Meanwhile, she’s done it while keeping her friends. Clearly, she’s doing many things right. Learn something. If I make this book sound like a chore, I’m misleading you. This is still a funny book. The girl can’t help it, to quote Little Richard.” – Steven Schwartz
“For me it felt kind of dry. I guess I expected a lot more humor. I find her very entertaining in person.” – Julia Lujan
