Your Survival Instinct Is Killing You: Retrain Your Brain to Conquer Fear, Make Better Decisions, and Thrive in the 21s t Century by Marc Schoen
3.0
A lot of very interesting information, however a lot of high school esque term paper writing. Let me expound: Much of the writing involved a lot of "In this next section I will show you this..." And a lot of "pre-telling" of information without yet giving it and that to me reeks of a very immature writing style which was highly distracting.
The actual facts presented however were worth the read and the ideas being shown were enough to make me keep reading, highlighting, and underlining.
I enjoy learning new things and psychology books in general. This one felt a bit light on actual facts and included a lot of notes and asides from the author about his own life-which were interesting enough, just not what I figured this book would be about.
Still, overall it made me think and pretty much anything that makes me ponder is okay in my book!
