I don't often have strong negative feelings about books but this one was not for me. Maybe I'm the wrong audience. It was so long and somewhat repetitive. The order didn't make much sense to me. Also not particularly groundbreaking. The appendicitis anecdote early on was super weird and off putting and unnecessary and I don't know what editor allowed it to remain in the final draft. It really made me skeptical of the whole rest of the book. This did not feel like it needed 400 pages. Perhaps the author should take his own advice and cut it down to the essence and see how that turns out.
