Is this book worth to read?

It is the best seller in 1995. Not sure if it still works now. And actually it is not so popular now.

The author didn't achieve a lot in business. It is this book that makes Vicki Robin well-known. And based on wiki, Vicki Robin is known as an American writer and advocate of "Simple Living," rather than a successful woman or an investor.
However, in Amazon the customer review is pretty high. And I quote a review from a person who gives relatively a low marks, three out of five stars.
”I am in my mid 30's and into serious financial planning. I found this book interesting, but a bit long. Also, I am pretty much in-control of my finances, so some of the suggestions were common sense to me.
However, if you are a person who lives check-to-check and is looking for a way to get out of the earn-and-spend spiral, I'd highly recommend this book or 'The Mindful Money Guide'.“
For me, I would like to start to read this book.
