This eye-opening and extremely informative book accomplishes two things. First, it alerts the reader to the incredible amount of privacy we sacrifice in our daily personal and business lives. More importantly, you will learn what to do about it! The revelation for me was the fact that privacy and convenience are usually inversely proportional. So some of the tips and techniques will have you saying "oh darn - I can't do that anymore!" However, when you truly realize that most of your life is an open book for anyone who wishes to pry into it - you'll feel enlightened and empowered by the vast amount of information this book contains. It runs the gamut from issues regarding privacy at work, financial affairs, computer, communications, and more. There is also an excellent resource section at the end to enable you to explore further into the world of privacy. Whether you're concerned about Big Brother, being stalked, or simply of the mind that in this technology age it's increasingly vital to keep one's business private and secure, None Of Your Business is a must read.

I have read and re-read this practical and very useful book. I continue to reference it regularly and have implimented many of the techniques Sontag recommends. His suggestions regarding computer security have been particularly useful and his in-depth knowledge of banking and finance are right on! I highly recommend buying this valuable book.

In a field of poorly written and researched books, this one has an abundance of detailed info on what's going on in the world of personal privacy. Maybe he includes a bit too much revolutionary political zeal, but I found a great deal of practical guidance I can use to secure my private life in these rapidly changing times.

This book contains such a wealth of information, that it is impossible to do it justice with a short comment. "It's None of Your Business" is packed with pertinent information for anyone who is concerned with personal security (and everyone should be). It describes just how easily it is for someone to gain access to your bank records,and your identity. Then there is the matter of medical records. Just how private are they? "It's None of Your Business" describes these matters and more in great detail. This is not boring reading, however, since the author has a definite sense of humor, which makes this book hard to put down! I give "It's None of Your Business" a definite "two thumbs up!"

Don't waist your money. From cover to cover Larry Sontag tells about who is watching and how these evil men will use this information against you. I wouldn't mind that if he gave one useful bit of information on how to avoid the problem. I would recommend "How To Be Invisible" by J.J. Luna or "Bulletproof Privacy" by Boston T. Party (although it is out of date, he still gives good advice.) Also "You and the Police" by Boston T. Party is a valuable read.

This isn't for the paranoid. Its for those who aren't paranoid enough.

This one is a keeper.

Medium sized book, but loaded with interesting and valuable information
