"Funny, outrageous, ingenious, depressing·Like a good anthropologist, Gretchen Rubin dissects the mad lust for power, celebrity, riches·"
- Ken Auletta
"Wisdom and fun abound on every page of this delicious hybrid of two popular genres: self-help and lifestyles-of-the-rich-and-famous. Gleefully offering strategic advice for the unabashedly ambitious·Rubin distills key research findings into True Rules of alarming simplicity·.[Her] hilarious categories of 'trustafarians,' 'spliterati,' 'fame parasites,' 'stalker-azzi,' 'arm candy' and 'jackpots' could easily pass into common parlance.

"In form and tone, it is related, distantly, to The Official Preppy Handbook, and in content, not so distantly, to primers like Michael Korda's Power! How to Get It, How to Use It."
- The New Yorker
"First there were the earnest guides that purported to reveal the secrets of success. Then there were the books that satirized the earnest guides that purported to reveal the secrets of success. Now there is POWER MONEY FAME SEX, a book as smart and stylish and terrifyingly unsentimental as its title, that manages to do both simultaneously."
- Kurt Andersen
"Part field manual, part satire·Even if you can't bring yourself to make use of the strategies outline in the book·it would be helpful to know if others are using them against you."
- New York Daily News
