  Aside from being extremely useful and empowering, there is a level of southern humor that it typical of Carville and Begala which makes this book a blast to read.

  At the conclusion of his lament on life, Ecclesiastes says to work hard, and honour god. Carville and Begala come to the same conclusions by a indirect route. Beneath the jokes and the outright political bias, are two very clear minds giving very sound advice. The book is worth purchasing for their chapter on hard work alone. It advises no short cuts or get rich schemes. Success requires focus and commitment. The only thing that the authors skate over is a moral purpose. They clearly forgive Clinton for lapses, but they do not forgive politicians of any side for abandoning their moral beliefs. Hence I would have liked one chapter on ethics, but I cannot deny the immense value and wisdom of this book.
