Conflict of interest

Hi. I'm the author and publisher of the book. I simply added the 10th edition, updated the cover and back cover to the new 10th edition, and listed a new award the book received. As an independent publisher, I can't afford PR firms that do this. I added no editorial information whatsoever. Here is the book's Amazon page to verify there is a new edition, the 10th edition: https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Getting-Paul-Joannides/dp/188553504X/ Paul Joannides, Psy.D. author/publisher Guide To Getting It On 10th edition paul@peak.org
