While only having gleemed a few chapters of the original this book is one of those books that I think is good but not great. They take a lot of interesting views on a lot of different topics that makes the book an exciting read but from the chapters I caught could have used a bit better or more numbers to backup their claims. Those numbers may not be out there or may have went against what they said. That’s something that you really don’t know unless you are well versed in that one specific subject (and when looking at the wide variety of subjects in the book I doubt there is anyone who’s an expert in all of these) or do a bit of research after the fact to gather whether it’s 100% true or not.

So overall, if you are looking for the definitive answer to any of the subjects in this book, I’d probably look for something more specific to it. But, if you are looking for a good read that will make you think differently about a wide variety of subjects this will be perfect for you. Really anything that makes you look at things in a different light isn’t bad because being able to look at things in general from a bunch of different angles is a great skill to have.
