From Rejection To Recognition: Celebs Who Proved Everyone Wrong review
A $17.99 ebook of celebrity rejection stories, credited to a doctor whose PhD field does not exist.
Pass
Everyone knows these stories, and that is the difficulty: they are free, repeated endlessly, and they teach almost nothing, because the people who persisted and still failed did not get a chapter. As motivation on a bad day it is harmless; as a $17.99 purchase it is a compilation of anecdotes you can read anywhere. The credential is also a mismatch: the co-author is credited with a PhD in the Psychology of Inner Peace, which is not a degree, and has nothing to do with a book about celebrity careers. The same invented field appears on two other titles here.

Famous rejections, retold
Stories, mindset shifts, the persistence argument and lessons to apply.
None of the stories are exclusive, and none are dated or sourced.
The chapter nobody writes
People who persisted and still failed are absent, which is what makes the argument feel true.
That is survivorship bias, and it is the whole structure of the book.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Sandra King with a PhD in the Psychology of Inner Peace and 32 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across all 84 titles from this seller: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 389000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
