Summary: A waste
Review: Overly simplistic garbage. The crucial content of this book could fit into a pamphlet. Buy a different book.

Summary: Condescending and simplistic
Review: These tapes were awful. It took 4 tapes to communicate 6 basic ideas. Buntman repeats these ideas, word for word, about 15 times each. The examples and analogies he uses are so simplistic that his style becomes condescending. The interview style used by the narrator and Buntman was contrived, and came across as a plug to buy the book.

The ideas conveyed are good ones, but this way of communicating them was just about as irritating as it gets. I have not read the book, but assume it must be better.
