DNF. I really don't like the way this is written. It reads like pop psychology with a heavy dose of all the worst kinds of academic-turned-public writing. It's overlong, recycles the same points over and over again, and could be half its length.

I think a lot of the vocab it uses is very hokey and mystical. I allowed interest in this book because of the research background of the author, but this is not for me. I plan to review the notes and read the academic literature instead of this.
