This is on the lower side of the spectrum. It's very 2013 neoliberal, but I need to evaluate the parts about the brain that I liked in order to figure out how low is too for this. I'm thinking it gets at least 2 stars, but it might get 3 this book is too fascist, it focuses on organizations, and i didn't take enough notes about the brain to follow-up. so it's a 1-star book.

The book was better when it focused on the brain. It's too bourgeois to get the application stuff right. To be fair this book is from 2013, but it's still sad.

So to be clear, some parts of the book felt like a nice complement to hunt gather parent, but it was like focused on an Ancap Overton Window but then was detoxing from that & due to the attachment felt conservative but due to using new info from science felt like blue maga. Like he gave nationalism apologia saying due to analyzing 10k pairings among like 45 people that we rely on stereotypes for cooperation... Cliche apologia but still horrid.

I took notes, and it was helpful because it gave me insight on multitasking & it gave me insight on how my development got stunted/delayed/robbed, but the harmonizing part felt too much like conversion torture apologia. So basically the earlier in the book the better.
