Pleasant, easy read overall. The book included many interesting stories and facets that piqued my interest, whether to try and experiment or to deepen my understanding. Unfortunately, most of the time the book was too shallow to satisfy the curiosity it caused and adequately explain what it was mentioning. Instead of going more in depth at times, providing more contextualisation, more detailed assessment, more reflection, a large portion was taken up by anecdotal storytelling. This was perfectly fine at the beginning but incredibly frustrating as the book went on. The duality and lack of (?) balance reminded me a bit about having an interesting, if casual, conversation at a dinner party but every time it gets interesting, some health bro keeps butting in. I’m glad I read it. I picked out some things to maybe follow up on and try just for fun. I would hesitate to recommend the whole book and am unlikely to read it again.
