It was very good (interesting, educational, & engaging) until the last few chapters where he started describing treatments that he could, for the most part, only support through anecdotal experience. I don’t doubt they have some efficacy, but it was a hard switch from well-supported science to more theoretical ideas. I still recommend the book and look forward to a future edition that can hopefully back up more of his treatments.
