Valuable lessons abound in this text. There's a reason it's a classic. The theories presented here have been widely repeated through other mediums, so there's probably nothing in this book that you won't already be familiar with, but I think there's a certain power to the concentrated dose of anecdotes and evidence that accompanies each principle. This book can serve as a powerful prophylactic to withstand the influence that the reader would otherwise find themselves unwittingly subjected to. I would argue that this should find its way onto many required reading lists.

Really interesting, and very easy to read. Sadly not on the topic I was hoping for, but still very good!

I added and un-added and re-added this to my goodreads, because I'm not sure how to present a book I read (ok, skimmed in parts) for class. But overall I think it's a really worthy and interesting book and I'd like to acquire my own copy, so on the e-shelf it goes.
