Padded to draw out the length, but informative
Sustains
- clear info on the psychology of behavior
- good use of end-of-chapter summaries
Improves
- repeated information to pad the text to a more “book-worthy” length
- could bring in documentation that is only available on the author’s website as lead magnets (I don’t want to give up my email to get info that is a part of the book; I just want to read the book)
