While it's a pop-science book aimed at a normie crowd with no prior knowledge of psychology, a lot of the concepts explained by Barrett are drawn out to the point of the casual reader getting lost along the way.
Many points could have been made shorter and more concise. After a certain point, the book turns into a yapfest.
That being said, I enjoyed the majority of the analogies used by Barrett in the book.
