• Great Tricks! 11 January, 2001
These "Cheap Tricks" have great worth. Actually, the information in this book is quite valuable. It's about using knowledge of brain function to one's advantage in everyday life. Dr. Buff's style of writing is absent of mumbo-jumbo. He has a practical, common-sense approach to science, mixed with great humor, charm and fun-facts. This is the kind of book your friends will ask to borrow and not return. It happened to me.

• Fluffy, "tip Of The Day" Style Book 04 September, 2003
The best part first: this is a fun book. It has straight-forward tips on dealing with 62 different situations, all of which are...more or less...founded in psychology research.But...It's not particularly good for providing *general* information as implied by the sub-title ("What to Do When Hard Work, Honesty, and Perseverance Fail"). For readers interested in those issues, wider reading is necessary.

• Not What I Expected... 08 January, 2003
Call me manipulative, but you can't accuse this book of the same quality. I was expecting something telling me how to do some down-and-dirty "social engineering"...but...alas, no. It did give me a few tips/tricks that were cool, but it was hokey ... on how to make people feel better and garbage like that. Nothing to make someone insecure about their looks all day...or how to make someone trust you with a few carefully placed words. It doesn't even cover simple things like surveying people, and how to determine body language. Not worth the buy, AT ALL. If you can borrow it from a friend, it's fun for a couple minutes.

• Waste Of Time, Money And Effort To Procure 17 August, 2007
I bought all three of his books thru Amazon. Oy vay! What a load of rubbish! No tricks even though the cover says there's tricks in the book. Bah. Just a load of common sense psycho-babble is here. The stuff is so generic you can find it on Google. If there were buttons for negative stars, I'd give it a -5 and tell you to KEEP your money and look elsewhere!
