Given the glowing reviews, I was genuinely surprised by the actual book.
It is very badly formatted and seems to have had little, if any, professional editing and organizing. Some of the text is printed in a dark grey box, which makes it nearly impossible to read. There are long paragraphs which really should've been broken up. There is some use of lists and bullets, but not nearly enough. The font is strangely round, and the page looks very cramped.
I can't help but think that this book seems to be nearly self-published. If you, like I, have recently been reading any of the NOLO books on starting your own business, this feels like a serious step down in presentation. (There is a reason for an author to work with editors and publishers: they make the book more readable.)
As for the content itself, I find it middling. There are pages and pages on having a trademark, but hardly any details on how to choose malpractice. Again, seems to be lacking organization and editorial vision.
I almost never return a book, but this one I am sending back.

Great book. Part I gives a great overview of how to start your own medical practice based on Hacker's experience as an entrepreneur. Should be noted, though, that Hacker does not discuss anything about creating a cash practice.
Part II of the book discusses how to start and run your own business outside of medical practice. I purchased the book because of Part I, but Part II was a great read as well.
To summarize, I think this book should be required reading in medical school to educate American physicians on how to be successful in running a practice. I'm content working where I'm at now, but should I ever decide to change locations, I'll refer to this book to guide my future practice.
Thank you Dr. Hacker for taking the time to write this book!
