Mostly inspiring and interesting but some ideas seem half-baked, in particular the idea of so-called “productive meditation” which seems like a recipe for becoming an aloof and/or burnt out professor. The author also seems to cherry pick when to offer research instead of mere anecdotes to back up his points.
