Correlation does not equal causation, Mark.

Revisado: 09-02-24

If you have a fairly deep understanding about human physiology and biochemistry, this book will be hard to listen to. Not only is it poorly written, but he uses cherry picked studies to call out causation where there is only correlation constantly, and makes numerous falsifiable inferences. He says things like "in the 1980s, drug companies used propaganda to convince the scientific community that nitric oxide wasn't a poison, but was a health promoting molecule in order to launch their erection drug Viagra". First of all, Viagra wasn't even approved until 1998. Secondly, the entire first chapter is devoted to demonizing NO, and he discusses negative studies on sildenafil as if sildenafil IS nitric oxide to prove his points.
The surprising success of this book despite its content is actually starting to convince me that I too should write a book, albeit one that is accurate and verifiable.
While I hope MB is the miracle compound everyone says it is, I won't be relying on Mark Sloan to provide me the confidence I need to begin taking it. Gonna look for other resources.

Tells you nothing

"Redox reactions are responsible for life, and it's thought that disease and aging is due to declines in Redox reactions. That's all I have to say about that".
I guess there's only so much you can say in 45 minutes.
I hope I didn't pay for this book...

Could be one book, not 5.

Content not bad, but not overly advanced either. References the work of cialdini at one point. Pretty repetitive over course of all books, could easily be condensed into a single volume of work. Narrator isnt great either..

Solid beginner book, but deceptive title

Revisado: 04-17-19

I was hoping for something more along the lines of covert tactics, or methods developed by govts ie. Mkultra kind of stuff, only to discover there is nothing manipulative or mind control-esqe about it. The content however is great if you're looking to discover hypnosis as a legitimate tool to help others and yourself overcome personal issues or become a better person, and I will definitely give it a second listen at some point since it's only an hour and a half long if I'm not mistaken. So overall worth the 4 bucks, but I'm not sure why the author titled it the way he did.

Nothing groundbreaking

No studies, no real pearls, very basic. Purchased this book for sales, if you're looking for a good sales book search for Cialdini
