Well it had 5 stars for clarity but got a little repetitious at the end so 4.5 stars rounded down. What I liked was this books direct and clear approach, easy to read. I found the information helpful although it seems geared for those who work in corporate America not healthcare in an ancillary field. Still the information was pretty much adaptable for dealing with manipulative colleagues.
