Good book. Very accurate on the methods that are used to avoid responsibility. I would give it five stars if it gave more focused always to take responsibility and live well: contains good anecdotes and general platitudes on this topic.

I would like to see an updated edition as well, much of this still applies, but are there now more ways we avoid responsibility, since the explosion of tech and social media since the year of publication?
