An eye opening challenge to notions that you hold so deeply in your unconscious that you don't even realize they're there. Extremely clearly explained and very compelling.

This is one of those "inflated" books.
Great idea, but he could have said the same in a third of the pages. That´s the reason it took me months, even years to read. I start reading it, after a while I start to jump paragraphs, then pages and then I leave it for a few months...
Not sure If I´d recommend it, or better get the TED talk summary :)
