Dr. Greger suffers from confirmamation bias

Revisado: 12-31-24

The book is filled with facts. Yet, my conclusion is that it adds up to little information. It is too long, refers to too many studies and external videos and fails to provide a clear answer to “how not to age”. The author’s bias towards a plant-based diet is clear and perhaps overwhelming to the reader. His biases lead Dr. Greger to suffer from significant confirmation bias as a result. He does not understand how or why homo sapiens evolved to be omnivores. He should read Herman Pontzer’s “Burn, How New Research Blows the Lid Off How We Really Burn Calories, Stay Healthy, and Lose Weight” and Richard Wrangham’s book “Catching Fire, How Cooking Made Us Human” to gain a better perspective on human nutritional evolution. Still I found the wealth of information somewhat useful and I would not pass up this book based only upon my critique.

Arrogant writing

Revisado: 11-03-24

The book offers little real thought or analysis. It is often a screed against modern societal practices. Don't waste your credits, money, time and attention on this drivel.

Everything is insulin resistance

Revisado: 09-11-24

Too much harping on one thing. The title is misleading. Book could have been a fraction of its length, conveyed the same message and been a much better listen/read.

Well written

Good story but it became a bit of a slog after several hours. Worth reading.

Rambling book that often goes awry

Revisado: 06-20-24

I thought this book was about the study of language. It is not in fact. It is for the most part a series of anecdotes that have little to do with the purported subject. Don't buy and make the same mistake I did.

Detailed Biography

Revisado: 04-11-24

Wonderful narration. Incredibly well researched. However, the book includes myriad side trips to lesser known Cromwell contemporaries which distracted me from getting a sense of who Cromwell was. Overall it is well worth the time and effort to read.

Idiotic premise

Revisado: 03-16-24

He hates logic and the left brain hemisphere. You now don't need to waste your time with this long winded diatribe.

Slow, plodding with a sing song narrator

Revisado: 02-06-24

Beautiful words but bad writing that ignores the need to engage the reader. It is a book that indulges the author's ego while taking forever to tell a story. Wish I had not wasted money on this.
