Review title: some useful info in an obnoxious package
Product review: While there is interesting and possibly usable information in the book, Dr. Stanley comes across as a smug, tedious and obnoxious individual, I was very tired of spending time with him by the time I finished. There are a number of no-brainer insights presented as if they were the wisdom of the ages - decamillionaires are unlikely to play the lottery...hmmm. The spouse selection chapter reminds me of Gordon Liddy. It seemed there were twenty five mentions of the importance of clipping coupons before shopping for groceries - sorry, I just don't believe this is the key issue. And while Stanley has a point about interpersonal skills being as important as academic excellence, I am a little queasy about feeling sorry for the high school class president and football star afraid he won't measure up against the "class brains". I think you can get the maximum out of this book by skimming it in twenty minutes at a bookstore.
