I just recently got this and have been reading it. The start is a bit redundant for any decent players, and the section on "player types" is the same if you only play online. However, for live play, the pyschological information given on how to handle different player types is pure gold. Every word I read rang true in my head, either as reiterating something i've been doing or pointing out something a good player I know does. The advice is very solid and should increase anyones winrate playing live.
I haven't read the whole book yet but it's definitely valuable and has a lot of new content I haven't seen in other books.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
