The first half of the book was about his life before law school and anecdotes. I did not think that gave much to the book's intent, which is to prepare people to maintain success when they have the opportunity to get it. In the second part of the book the author gave advice and directions to be successful. I would have liked for the book to have had more information that was described in the later half. I understand, however, that mr Miller is paid for this type of advice.

Overall, this book presents a good concept about staying ahead of the game and being prepared for the dropoff point. It's a quick read*; so, although he gives some good starting points, you will have to research those points on your own to get an in-depth strategy. For instance, he mentions having an exit strategy which is essentially what the 16th minute is all about. How do you move on to the next thing? That's the question, and it really requires a business or investment knowledge to answer. I have seen a lot of this info on deeper level; so, it left me feeling like I read what I already knew. However, I think the biggest strength of the book is HIS story. Mr. Miller made a way for himself and helped his clients find their 16th minute of fame. He talks about his trials and the pre-strategy he prayed about, conceived, and worked out in order to avoid being left behind in the storm of change. It's a good read for that reason alone, but I would couple it with something like "The Lean Startup" to get a really good starting base for building a strategy. This book is short; so, coupling it with another academic or technically-focused book will be easy to do.
* I took a while to finish this book, because I kept it in my car and read it while stuck in traffic, etc. I have "occasion" books, meaning I read them in certain instances. So it's more about convenience than getting finished with the book itself. The book is about a day or half a day read.
