Philosophically disappointing, but an interesting read

Revisado: 09-03-23

This book contains a lot of interesting ideas that, assuming they are true, will undoubtedly inspire many to view mental illnesses in a new and useful way with positive results. That is if you count up the number of individual ideas in the book, and the general idea that metabolism is more important than usually assumed in mental illnesses.

On the other hand, the main premise of the book is flawed, and the author promotes incomplete and flawed logic, presented as an improvement. It is possible that the end result—the encouragement to view mental illnesses in a metabolic light—is still a good thing, but the reasoning used in central theme that pervades the book is in fact intellectually either unskilled (at least at the level he purports) or dishonest. I’m sure many will be fooled by it.

It is also possible that he is right but failed to make a persuasive argument that works for someone capable of catching his errors. It’s not clear to me whether that was his goal.

This was still an interesting read and for all I know may speak to some kind of movement that needs to occur within psychiatry (I have no expertise in that). But there seems to be a reason why this guy is an MD, not a PhD.

Not the right narrator… LOL

This guy was clearly just seeing the words for the first time, struggling through it, and did not seem to have any clue what the topic of the book was. He also was doing this fake announcer type voice the whole time, overly British and pompous. Unnecessary.

Poorly read

Revisado: 09-15-19

The speaker reads the text in an unnecessarily dramatized way that misrepresents and obfuscates the text, emphasizing the wrong words and failing to demarcate sentences and phrases. I do understand that Nietzsche is hard to read, but this unfortunately creates a significant additional layer of confusion.
