It's long because he tried to compile facts not fiction. The research part is what makes it a bit heavy read. It does require a lot of patience but in the end, it's worth it.

I would not classify this as a long book. It could have been a much longer book with a lot more science to back up some of the thoughts expressed. I thought the book should have been titled Experience. There were a few areas he talked about in the book that I am knowledgeable about that he just barely skimmed the surface. Short book that was not much more than a hodge podge of ideas that were half baked with simplistic explanation that are totally unproven.

It wasn't that long for me, but some stories were so boring and just not worth reading, and their purpose was weak, they could have been summed up in a way shorter form and concluded.. that's what I felt personally

Disagree with all of you - it wasn't very long at all. To be fair, I only read this book in between activities, but it really wasn't very long or boring. It was interesting enough - not spectacular - and was consistent. The stories, which I thought were all pretty good and selective, were all connected somehow.

73% through the book and my patience hasn't been rewarded. Outliers didn't drag like this.
