"A fascinating combination of autobiography and self help advice that anyone who works in science/academia should read, whether a grad student, professor, or whatever. Offers excellent insight into the politics of the university system."
"I think I would not recommend this book to anybody that does not have a professional interest in biology. Watson is a brilliant man, but over half of the book he is talking about his attempts to data undergraduate students in Harvard while a professor there... Only occasionally the reader get glimpses of his scientific thinking. The summary points at the end of the chapter are entertaining and actually useful for a new scientist."
