I wanted to read this a few weeks ago but I didn't get past page 70 or so.
Is the entire book written like a self help book where every little facet of his theory is explained ten times in a row with five almost identical examples? If that's the reason it has 500 pages I definitely won't read all of them.
It's basically psychology aimed at the Average Joe and the style reflects that, yeah. That being said, it's definitely way above self-help stuff. I'd say it's worth giving a chance.

Actually - I'm thinking of getting it on my Kindle because my printed copy is a bit out of reach right now - that link does point to the revised edition, right?
(Because the Amazon page says 2011)

Yep. Back when I was in college, an oft-repeated joke among the lecturers was that psychology is the study of mind of mice and psychology students.
