PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this irreverent forum, Stein, an award-winning financial journalist who is best known to the public as an actor, answers life's important questions. Though he certainly entertains fans, the book is unlikely to earn him any new ones. However, even readers new to Stein's humor may appreciate his practical advice. For example, Stein intones, "YOU MUST HAVE SAVINGS." In today's horrid financial climate, who could argue? He also instructs readers to "be on time" and tells a funny story about "Evita," a would-be writer who came to his house late, reeking of gin, and proceeded to clean out his refrigerator. Near the end, Stein addresses the economy and in doing so, may alienate Republicans, Democrats, or both. Whatever camp you fall in, dear reader, it's unlikely that his advice will raise your ire, and you'll probably get a chuckle or two from this book.

It's good
An enjoyable, quick read. Thanks for confirming my belief to live life to the fullest, including having a great car. Watching heads turn is better than money in the bank.
i really love this guy
Ben Stein has always been one of my favorite economic analysts. He is a brilliant actor, and the only one who gives solid advice about dry red eye as well as wall street. It was a fascinating read.
