If you like Jess's YouTube channel, you might like this book!
I did highlight a reasonable amount of notes, though there is a good chunk of this that is memoir-style.
The beginning, since it is about focus, reads a lot like a standard "productivity" book, but the book started to pick up more for me in the sleep and motivation chapters.
I do think for the toolbox sections, a lot of it could be covered more in depth, as the memoir sections take up most of the space (but I like Jess as a YouTube personality so it was still worth reading to me!), though I also think having the examples / context for why those tools might work is important, just maybe not the most balanced between the two (for me).
Very quick read for me, seems reasonably approachable for a beginner to medical non-fiction. I think someone looking for more advanced advice or tools or even medical science abstracts might find this a little surface level.
+ I do wish at least some of the citation sources were listed IN the book and not a link to a website, since websites disappear all the time. I read a digital copy, idk if they're printed in the print copies.
