5.0 out of 5 starsInsightful and practical.

Love this book. On par with Thinking, Fast and Slow and essential reading for anyone who wants more ways to navigate having too little time / attention / money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Repetitive

I did not enjoy reading this book. I found it extremely repetitive. Authors could have summed up the entire book in just one chapter.

Frankly, I don't need any hundreds of pages to tell me that the Sun rises from the East. Disappointing overall.

The book did not convince me that researchers are going to continue to make important discoveries in this new "science in the making." The two central ideas, that scarcity leads to tunneling and a bandwidth tax are useful and well supported with evidence. The writing could have been tighter.

While this book has a useful thesis,and contains food for thought, its approach is puerile to the point of insult. A prime example of stuffing a large number of words into a small idea.

It is a repetitive book. The author's ideas can be presented in a couple of pages. One doesn't need a book for that.
