Good info. except weak understanding of medicine.

Revisado: 03-29-23

interesting information. some of course is already well known now.
The big problem with some of the statements and inferences he made in certain professions, especially in medicine, is his lack of understanding of how it works. calling the first few years of medical school knowledge based compared to skills based is obvious because knowledge is needed first. there's no specialty at first. and that part about radiologists being tested to determine cancer to avoid "unnecessary" biopsies is wrong because you cannot diagnose cancer radiographically.

The flaw in the part where he compared experienced doctors with the younger ones is he made an assumption saying they become less competent as time goes by but he didn't use the same person. he compared different sets of people.

A book that often directs to his podcast

Revisado: 03-29-22

This is an audiobook I paid for. So why do I need to hear him constantly tell me to go to his podcast? to go to his website? Either include it or don't. Saying you don't have "room" for it is BS designed to lead you to the website. I will have this returned!

Mildly entertaining history of genetics

Revisado: 03-16-22

Quite interesting but not captivating.
I just finished "The Disappearing Spoon" and find it quite annoying that several chapters in, he has the same stories.
i get it, it's about DNA. But maybe don't include the breadth of the start of genetics in the book about chemistry when you talk about it in a different book. It's like that person who has a story saved in his back pocket ready to drone on at people who have heard it a dozen times before

it's interesting. so many ads

Revisado: 02-15-22

Stories are interesting to listen to. short and well read.

Each short episode has an ad in the middle, ad for his other books and his patreon, and an ad at the end for the science and history institute, all of which are said to be necessary in making the podcast happen. I'd rather pay.
There are few weak episodes such as the cancer episode with wild speculation that is outright not how cancer research works.

Kind of interesting at first

Revisado: 02-03-22

Very repetitive in its cherry picked "studies" and generalizations. no real exploration to supporting studies and evidence but like someone just took a look at the abstract.

I'm tired of hearing "a study says" and rephrasings of "something as small as X can make a difference"

The name of the book isn't very accurate. less science of food, more pop psychology of eating out and marketing.

Also, the narrator should pronounce words better. the way they narrate makes me feel like im listening to a children's story.

Engaging, but not helpful.

Revisado: 12-25-21

As a book about meditation, it's good.
As a book about how helpful and amazing meditation is, it's great. I agree with many points.
But as a book on HOW to meditate, not really. The title is a little bait-y. I don't need to know why meditation is useful. That's why I'm listening in the first place
