Richard Templar is the pen name of a British author (in the beginning, two collaborating authors, one of whom sadly died in 2006) who has written several self-development books. He shares his "path to success" in a series of books, in which 100 simple "Rules" are presented to achieve success: be it in business, money, or life in general. Rules are typically presented on two pages, making the books easy to read, and suitable for dipping into at random.
The books contain the distinctive use of British English. One reviewer writes that Templar's style is in neither of the "iron fisted" or "fuzzy warm" camps prevalent in American management books, but mixes both.
