review 1: Overall, it was okay. A little ranty, but OKAY. The last few sentences of the book really left a bad taste in my mouth, though...something about "The Chinese" eating our lunches economically, while indulgent Americans are lagging behind. This whole "me vs them" spiel is getting old, and it completely ruins the entire point that this book was trying to make.While they're continuously trying to espouse humility and collectivism, the authors have managed to engage in another form of narcissism, with all this "rebirth-of-American-values, don't-let-the-Chinese-people-take-over" crap. Uggghhh.
review 2: My rating would have been higher if the authors did not try to teach the audience and concentrated on the problem and its explanation. The moment they started teachin... moreg how we should live, I lost interest. I was interested in the study of the narcissism problem in the modern society, how the society changed, why, what drives narcissism, but they added their personal experience, which is unacceptable for a scientific study for which I took the book written by two psychologists teaching at universities. Pity, but more than a half of the book is quite interesting. less
