Richard Templar

Richard Templar is the pen name of British author and editor Richard Craze who wrote several self-development books. The name was originally used as a collaborative pseudonym for Craze and his writing partner Templar, who died in 2006. 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 management, wealth, financial prudence, work-life balance, parenting, love, or living a simple yet meaningful 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 Canadian 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.
