Can't recommend

When you open this book, everything looks so great that it must work. I think the reason why it's so popular is that no one's actually tried it.
It's about meta learning and cooking, yet there's info how to write certain Chinese characters or score in basketball. It's scattered all around, so you have to skim through a lot of text, it's 700 pages.
As for cooking, prepare to buy authentic champagne vinegar, thick lamb bone cut in half or grapeseed oil. It takes a lot of effort, yet you only get a snack, not a full meal. He talks about some diet, but how four eggs or a small cauliflower are supposed to feed 2 to 4 people is beyond me.
In summary, self help book that doesn't take into account that life is limited despite claiming the opposite. It contains some useful stuff, but I don't think it's …
