Bait and Switch : The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream
reviewed on + 7 more book reviews


Author Barbara Ehrenreich is a whiner. She is the type of person who inspires people to give up and lead a pathetic life. She puts forth the idea that "it is not my fault". Well, when you take 100% responsibility for your situation based on the choices that you have made, you also can take 100% control of your future. But if you spend time blaming others, the economy, the wealthy, the poor, the other gender, etc. Your energy and focus is EVERYWHERE except where it should be.

I strongly suggest that you skip this book. Garbage in garbage out. I only read it for research and to see what my clients might be putting in their heads.
