Fascinating book about the responsibilities and perils of attainig personal, financial and business power
So many with power have used it to hurt themselves and others
This is also the writer of "Scripts People Live" another favorite psychology book of mine.

















I had high hopes for this book to provide me with some Egyptian mythos for my book research.
Unfortuantely I found a mediocre, cardboard 1-d character novel with a drab plot, poor research and I cannot recommend it to anyone
I have read much better Robin Cook Books...
If you want to read good books by Robin Cook instead of this one, read my Robin Cook recommendations/book review section.





Very great idea here but book is way too long. Concept of thin slicing vs. Thick slicing and instinct vs. analysis. Fascinating stuff but whole book could be summarized in a half dozen pages and some additional ideas come to mind he could have covered if he was not so fascinated by the existence fo the concept, and focused on uses and practicialities.
