Review of 'The code of the extraordinary mind' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
Started out alright though mostly obvious in nature, some good stories and quotes throughout - but I got about half way through (or a bit less) and this book went down hill fast.
Filled with extreme fluff - the author demonstrates a clear lack of logical / skeptical thinking leading to confirmation bias and logical fallacies.
Huge amounts of egotistical bragging.
While are a few good quotes and anecdotes, I feel it would be most valuable for someone who has been impressed or shamed by religious experiences and wishes to perhaps change them to spiritual ones.
I’d cut about 75% of the content or not waste your time with this author-indulgent book at all.
