This books is exclusively aphorisms. Dont expect any information beyond you finding the meaning to the quotes themselves. There are some great quotes here that you should take actively abide by but there are some significant themes (finance) that constantly reappear that detract from the overall meaning.

I will say that as a novice in this field of science, the better part of the first half is focused on our understanding of gravity came to be. This then leads into general relativity, space-time, and both of these concepts intersect at quantum gravity. This means that the vast majority of the book is accessible to people who have no experience in the field. I did expect this book to be a little bit more opaque (I don't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing) but it never really seemed to impact the validity of combining two seemingly irreconcilable yet, fundamental parts of physics. I do appreciate the modeling of spin networks and explaining why they are important. Overall, I think that this is a fairly good introductory book to quantum gravity and some of its implications for better understanding it.

I loved this book for several reasons and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in some of the neuroscience behind how and why we learn the way that we do. It does discuss some of the mechanisms that align with AI and machine learning but that is not the focus of the text (despite what the title may have you believe). It sparked several different ideas and challenged a lot of misconceptions (Babies do have object permanence:https://www.devcogneuro.com/Publications/Diamond_MITchapter.pdf)
Most importantly it rekindled a passion that I have to education in the formative years (k-5) Regardless of if my life takes me in that direction at some point I do think that text like this should be a required reading for anyone who better wants to understand how and why we learn the way that we do.
I wouldn't say there is anything groundbreaking here but it definitely does a good job reinforcing several foundational pedagogical principles.
