Well read and easy to follow. Well structured and useful.

This audiobook is in line with current research and based on scientific studies. It is concise and, by avoiding vague psychologising, is presenting a convincing case for thinking about the brain as a prediction machine and the consequences this has for our mindset and our lives.
