Customer Reviews & Comments
In the tradition of the One Minute Manager, this book is delivered as a short story of a younger man learning from an older man. The content is simple. And it is extremely practical. I wrote the book, Self-Help Stuff That Works, and I have to say I was a little jealous at what Epstein had done. It is clear, simple, and one hundred percent practical. Epstein says his real-life model for the older man in the book is none other than B. F. Skinner, who Epstein knew personally. The only reason I didn't give the book five stars is that the typesetting needs improvement. It isn't really an important element and it doesn't change the value of the content, but it distracted me a few times. Now that Epstein is the editor of Psychology Today, he'll probably get some professional typesetter to fix it up. But don't wait. This book is definitely worth reading as it is.
