Solid. Be a better person. Start here.

The patterns illustrated here map to every challenging, rewarding, dangerous, or confusing social interaction you've had.

Each section's (anti) hero demonstrates powerfully the lessons of that law or pattern. Variations of every pattern are explored, giving deeper understanding of how subconscious forces manifest outwardly.

Strategies are provided to become aware of and eventually take ownership of our drives and actions.

In many cases we could clearly see through masks, deceptions, predispositions, and other primary factors of another's personality and character, if we recognized certain indicators. I was blind to most of these clues, but they can be crystal clear and reliable. Guidance is provided for attracting, nurturing, mitigating, or avoiding types and situations.

Wow, all the ways.

Author tells amazing history of how we got here, along with better-than-pop level of science. I love having to pause and go back and process my books. He did a really good job of conveying the personalities and unique science-styles of remarkable scientists doing amazing things.

Author repeatedly very wrong about nutrition.

Investigation and reporting is good, on a very important topic.

The author's presumptions of what's unhealthy reflect all the bad science of the 20th century's misguided "heart health" recommendations. The patterns in her incorrectness reveal some familiar wishful thinking.

One thing in particular that bothered me is how the author credited "a plant based" diet to reverse type 2 diabetes, when the important factor is which carbs you consume and how. It's well established, type 2 diabetes is what happens when you literally saturate your body with glucose (ie your insulin response is insufficient to move glucose out of the blood), and operate that way over time, building up an insulin resistance.

Yet somehow she claims animal products, low in sugars, have something to do with the disease caused by your body perpetually drowning itself in glucose. No clue.

Author makes equally bogus claims about the relative health of different types of fats and oils. Her assertions are consistent with what industrial food oil interests promoted for a century, and which have been thoroughly debunked.

Sell as: "Type 1 diabetic doesn't understand insulin response, fats, proteins; Writes analysis of food tech and healthy eating based on common sense from our unhealthiest century".

"Not too harmful, for a fast food nation" is the best I can say.

trash heap self help

Revisado: 01-10-22

Endlessly repetitive, hyperactively hyperbolic, and astonishingly stupid.

The first 10 chapters should have been condensed into an introduction chapter. The rest should have been 2 more very short chapters. This should have been a 10 page read, max.

The fictional story to carry the discussion is beyond stupid, and the dialogue unendurable.
"This will give you radical energy, dude, to maximize your potential."
"I'm really feeling that, bruh, can you tell me more?"
"Most def, my man, we'll talk about the 20/20/20 principle later, which will give you astonishing results."
I'm not even joking, that is the kind of "street-real" dialogue you get.

The author has this horrible grade school pedantic rhythm that repeats endlessly, going like: "X will give you <adjective> <noun>, <adjective> <noun>, and <adjective> <noun>. When you find your <adjective> <noun> you'll unleash your <adjective> <noun> for <adjective> <noun>. Your <adjective> <noun>, <adjective> <noun>, and <adjective> <noun> will <adverb> <verb> the <adjective> <noun>s in your life, resulting in <adjective> <noun>, <adjective> <noun>, and <adjective> <adjective> <noun>."

Finally, content. Get up at 5. Immediately spend 20 minutes activating your body, 20 minutes reviewing what's meaningful for you, and 20 minutes growing yourself. He does offer a few insights around how and why, and other patterns and strategies of productive, creative, successful people, but no more than 10 pages worth, inflated.
