It gets somewhat repetitive with his descriptions of how bad he feels for his actions and how he was mistreated by some, stalked by media etc. It is worth reading if you care about psychology as a field. Surely there are more Stapel's out there. The best solution for weeding them out and keeping them away is: 1) replication studies both by the same and independent authors, 2) open data so fraudulent data can more easily be spotted, 3) more meta-analyses of published studies that examine publication bias and estimate effect sizes given the bias (currently not a widespread practice), 4) more statistics! :)
