I came to this expecting more research than memoir; that's on me. Still, the overall experience was like meeting a friend of a friend and feeling like you have loads in common only to have them earnestly tell you that chemtrails are making the frogs gay. There were many such record scratch moments throughout. And repeated citations of such dubious experts as David Brooks and Tim Ferriss. Plus a lot of label and name dropping, racial bias, and fatphobia. Oh the fatphobia. It is possible that this entire book was created to be content marketing for the author's diet program and books. Overall, yikes.
