"Some of you people out there just wad it up and have at it. Others out there take careful time to fold it and go about their 'business' as methodically as possible."
This book is about my theory that there are two types of people in the world; Folders and Crumplers. It's a reference to how you might actually use toilet paper, but in here we explore how this behavior applies directly to defining the different natures of a Folder vs. Crumpler.
The goal of this book is to help you understand the two personas so that you can identify and embrace who they are. Once you understand your own nature and subsequently how others around you "roll", you will understand how Folders and Crumplers can cause friction for each other or can create amazing success together.
Everyone is either a Folder or a Crumpler. You probably aren't 100% one or the other but you are definitely on the FC Continuum. Follow me on my crazy path and learn how to better enjoy yourself and those around you.

Read the whole thing last night. I LOVE it. I do believe you really nailed it and there is a greate value for anyone with a job. - Doug W.
It's really good! It's well written, informative and entertaining! So good! Great job! - Lori B.
Just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying your book and philosophy through the view of the world as having two different people. It gives different perspective and it's catchy! - Russ W.
I just finished reading this book and thought it was hilarious! Not only I got an insight to the author's personal life and what it looks like to be a "folder" but also, I realized that sometimes I enjoy strategy and planning more than execution. I think I have a few crumpler's tendencies but even the fact that I am strongly considering creating a "pamphlet" that would help my guests enjoy their stay at my house proves that I am a folder through and through.: ) - Riley
Before reading this book I would've said I'm a Folder with a little bit of Crumpler. After reading this book, I realize I'm actually a Crumpler with a little bit of Folder. I am OK with being a Crumpler!!! Thank you Drew for presenting this in such a hilarious yet practical way to help others embrace their strengths and learn to surround themselves with others who may posses different strengths to help them achieve whatever their heart's desire! Great read! Excellent information! - Kristen J.
The title catches your eye. It's an intriguing concept to help identify personality types through their personal/private styles. I found the read very educational and very fast. The author mixes a good bit of his real life experience with the theories he is sharing. Got it last night and read it in two sittings. If you want to understand a practical, easy to understand approach to working with, or getting along with others, I can't think of a faster way of doing it. Read the book.
P.S. Yes he is referring to what you think he is referring to. - FM
