agnexperience 's review for:
I don't pitch things in the sense of this book, but I enjoyed it quite a lot. I think the basic concepts are useful to consider. The author is very confident in pitching himself to the reader. A bit much, maybe :D I do agree with other reviewers that for a short book, there is little meaningful organisation.
The book is also very male and I have a feeling that some of those power moves would not translate well if a woman were to do sth like that. This one particular bit with an apple comes to mind. I mean, there are no women mentioned at all in his field. Which is maybe close to reality, but the author could have made an effort to generalise into other situations as well.
I liked the emphasis on the emotional aspects of decision-making (what he called the "croc" brain or whatever). We want to be super rational and choose according to the best arguments, but there is obviously a lot more going on. If there wasn't, I wouldn't like eat ice-cream DURING a supposed "workout".
