In order to make the book as direct and user-friendly as possible, I have avoided footnotes, references, and other tools scholars usually employ in their technical writing. I have tried to present the results of psychological research, and the ideas derived from the interpretation of such research, in a way that any educated reader can evaluate and apply to his or her own life, regardless of specialized background knowledge.
Makes me nervous.
Update: Yep, I really don’t like this writing style. It’s too pop psychology. Give me citations and footnotes. I went to look at the notes section and it’s the worst I’ve ever seen.
