Review: Right in substance, but not in detail
Rating: 3 out of 5

I downloaded the book via Amazon.de and have just finished reading it. On the whole I agree with the author that there is little profit in positive thinking - others like Barbara Ehrenreich have already made the point more eloquently. The book suffers however from uncritical admiration of Ayn Rand, gun ownership, and other shibboleths of the American libertarian right, which show that one can find the truth on one subject through personal experience, and still remain mired in locally fashionable prejudice on many other subjects. There are also quite a few typos and poor editing, though overall the style is lively and engaging.
