It made sense to me that the psychologist wrote a book about the psychology of learning at a later age. That seemed to be what I read and heard about the book. As such, it could be helpful or at least interesting to those that fit the older age category.

If it's intended to be guitar instruction then I too would question the worth of the book given the author's scant experience with the instrument (and not so hot performance during the interview). But, if as I assumed, it's about certain techniques that overcome the comparitively slower, more difficult learning when past a certain age then it may have worth.

At the least, maybe it'll temper all the "am I too old" posts. :D

Anybody read it yet?
