JorenH rated Art of War: 4 stars
The subject matter is very interesting, but the book is so much harder to read than it has to be.

His previous book and lectures talk about the same subject matter in an easier to follow manner.
JBP often draws analogs from biblical stories/myths, which I sometimes find far-fetched. The given examples from his own life and clinical practise resonate better with me.

Very similar to The Martian. Better in my opinion.

It's literally a transcript of a talkshow. I guess maybe it might be alright as an introduction to the topic but even then there's better options which aren't written in a boring format. Every chapter talks about a different drug, but the content of each chapter is almost a carbon copy of the previous one.
