7 bucks, 2 hour read, helped someone go from a poor, rural, single parent upbringing to the top of his field. Sounds like a no-brainer. Ordered it.

Did it really? I seriously doubt it. Bill might be mistaken. To me it looks like just one of the cognitive biases: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

Unfortunately we cannot conduct an experiment of having two identical Bill Clinton, one of them read this book while another did not, then see they results.

But among more than 3 million of book readers, how many of them have something as close to Bill Clinton's achievements?

Politics is one of those fields where being a little better at it makes you better at a lot of things (e.g. making friends, making compromises, making deals). That's unlike being, e.g., a slightly better programmer (if you're not a programmer already) or being a slightly better lock-picker.

Marginal increases in political aptitude yield benefits crossing many domains in life, unlike most skills.
