The view from here
As a professor at a "large west coast PAC-10 university," I didn't find the book a total waste of money.
It answered some questions I had, and left some more unanswered.
I've read worse.
The credibility problems have been covered by more than enough previous posters. (You've got some good writers on this board.)
My least favorite parts are where Robbins plugs in jaw-droppingly bad cliches & descriptions -- "Amy purred with her velvety southern charm" ... "she flounced on her ruffled, pink-canopy bed, tossed aside her stuffed swan " ... and something about "her freckles in the light."
My goodness.
Anyway.
Have a good summer.
Stay out of trouble.
