This engrossing piece of undercover reportage has been a fixture on the New York Times best seller list since its publication. With nearly a million copies in print, Nickel and Dimed is a modern classic that deftly portrays the plight of America's working-class poor.

Depressing Buyer beware!
Revisado: 09-25-05
It will confirm what you already know. The lower to middle class worker has it very difficult. No kidding? We couldn?t tell. Like ?Bait and Switch, this book will offer you nothing but depression. There is nothing in this book to suggest or offer some hope and comfort for the middle class worker. If you read this book or listen to the audioCD, know what you are getting into.

The best-selling author of Nickel and Dimed goes back undercover to do for America's ailing middle class what she did for the working poor. Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed explored the lives of low-wage workers. Now, in Bait and Switch, she enters another hidden realm of the economy: the world of the white-collar unemployed.

Do not buy this book! Very Depressing
Revisado: 09-25-05
I bought ?Bait and Switch? thinking that I was going to get some insight and possibly an idea that I might offer a couple of friends that are out of work. After listening to this, I was more depressed than they are. This book offers nothing to the listener. It is an over detailed account depressively narrated by Anne Twomey of what ?Jane Alexander? experienced going undercover to ?experience the trail and tribulations of middle class unemployment;? something she would never be able experience to as a millionaire writer, in a pretend mood because she?ll never truly ?feel? what the middle class emotional feel. It?s like Martha Stewart going to prison, both ladies knew it is short term and when their term / experience is up they are back enjoying the best the world has to offer. Barbara Ehrenreich I?m sure is back enjoying the rewards of her book sales, maybe she refund my money If she really wanted to help the middle aged, white-collar, unemployed, she should donate some of her proceeds from this book to professional help organizations. Move and buy Keith Harrell?s Attitude is Everything and get inspired.

Simply the best
Revisado: 03-16-05
Without question Dr. Cialdini is the very best in the psychology of persuasion and influence. The audio quality is good,considering it was recorded live. A bit dated, by non-the-less, worth listening to over and over. His blend of humor and academic is also outstanding. you will enjoy this audio program.

Sound quality is just okay, but the content makes it worth it.
You can pay more and not get a better summary.
