Peterson's ability to weave psychology, metaphysics, philosophy, and religious teaching is awe-inspiring. I learned. I agreed. I disagreed. I found applicable, actionable lessons. I found ideas for later study. I view previously held beliefs and disbeliefs in a new light. Fantastic book.

...lot to unpack and absorb. Bottom Line: Investigating DMSO and using it is likely in one's best interest.

As per normal, Professor Saad's insights are well-considered and well-delivered. However, this book was not nearly as eye-opening as The Parasitic Mind.

As usual, the level of reporting, research, and honesty is outstanding. The details are both starting and depressing. We are in a really deep hole.

As a person who has seldom battled with insomnia, but almost always battled with the personal demon of going to bed "on time" this book was a revelation. It was also a warning. On an intellectual level almost everyone knows they should prioritize sleep. This despite the US, type A, high-achiever mythos. In my case, I knew better yet STILL consistently worshipped late night. While I make no promises, although maybe I should, the information presented, much of it stark and startling, has left me hopeful. Calling Ben Franklin!

In general, and as expected, this was breathtaking in both depth of analysis and relevance to the on-going social conditions of society. As an almost one-stop-shop for the pointed analysis of racialist arguments, such as the bovine feces in books like, "The Bell Curve" it is wonderful.

On the other hand, Dr. Gould seemed, at times, to find no historic figure unworthy of snide criticism. His (somewhat) backhanded attacks on folks like Aristotle seemed a bit overdone. Similarly, his derision of Founding Fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, struck me as a bit catty. Were mistakes made by both? Sure! Their racism, particularly given their environments, seems almost unworthy of placing in the same category as "thinkers" like Shockley or the authors of "The Bell Curve." Despite mentioning this, it remains a minor criticism of a major piece of thought-provoking literature.

Highly recommended, without reservation!

The arguments Johnson makes are ones with which I am quite familiar, and with which I wholeheartedly agree. What makes this book helpful, however, is the plain manner the points are made. The examples are relevant. The history is educational. The logic is solid. Ergo, the conclusions are (almost) unarguable. I say "almost" because Marxism is a philosophy that refuses to die the horrible death it deserves. Instead, it maintains a religious following who will argue, despite facts.

If I wasn’t already a huge fan of the drink, I would rush out to buy some. Luckily, I already have a bottle handy. This book is fitting for a libation so spectacular. Little doubt the man deserves it as well!

I loved this book, which is not surprising, given my following of and respect for Dr. Attia. It is hard to know where to begin in terms of the fantastic portions. So, I will offer two (2) large criticisms. One, Peter is much too easy on seed oils and their negative effects on health. They are basically poison and should be characterized as such. Two, Peter promotes pharmaceutical interventions, such as statins, far too enthusiastically. These are not, from my standpoint, small errors or minor disagreements. Despite them, I would still classify the book as magnificent. That's how good the rest of the information is! Kudos!

Having been a student of people like Wim Hof and others, I expected this book to be good. I was mistaken. It is, in absolute fact, exceptional. The science borders on scary. The history is equal parts mind-boggling, thrilling, and inspirational. Before I sink even deeper into over-the-top praise, let me end with this. Everyone you know needs to read this book. Enjoy!
