"Most people like to think they have some degree of control over their
lives. The truth is we're subject to the influence of others. Those who
appreciate this can make a lot of money from those who don't. But any
small-time grifter who ever dealt off the bottom of a deck can tell you
that. What I can tell you about is the price one pays for peddling
confidence. How every mark you fleece takes away a piece of your soul,
and what happens when you try to pick up the pieces."
