This book wasn't quite what I expected, having read Alda's previous book, Never Have Your Dog Stuffed. I found myself skipping over large parts of it, seeing far more narcissism and ego than I could tolerate. The story is told through speeches Alda has given to various groups, mostly commencement speeches. The book probably will appeal to some, but I thought Alda was taking himself way too seriously.
