After listening to the show, which lasted about an hour and a half, there was only one caller. That was the case even though Dr Livingston was giving away a set of books to the first 3 callers. Not that there weren't any listeners. They just weren't calling in.
Secondly, the show was a bit of a downer in a way. It was the sad story of how the culture of this country has become more entitlement oriented. Everybody wants the government to give them a handout. Actually, I have read a couple of Napoleon Hill's books, so this material wasn't new to me. But the show seemed more about the shortcomings of today's culture than what the book was about. If this is really true, no wonder we are in such a mess. But just one thing. Back in the late seventies, New York City had some fiscal problems and they were able to get it straightened out. That's because the government back then didn't bail them out. Now, if enough people in this country decide that this is going to stop, then things will get straightened out. At least, I hope it will.
Thirdly, its about age. It's never too late to learn about this stuff. Even though I've read the books, I am still learning new things all the time myself. So anyone can pick up this book and use it to improve their lives. Heck, Col. Sanders started Kentucky Fried Chicken on his social security check. It is never too late to start anew. That is, as long as your still breathing.
