This book has some good concepts and discussion, but it is poorly organized, often lacking in logical coherency. The book seems to jump around among various topics and stories, and is hard to follow at times. For example, a heading is often followed by a short discussion of subject matter related to the heading, but then devolves into various tangents. It is almost as if the author wrote the book in a stream of consciousness without much effort in organizing the material being discussed. This is a shame due to the importance of the subject matter being covered. IMO this book could be rewritten to produce a much better product.
Be careful ordering this edition. I received one today with a front cover different from the one advertised, and a completely blank spine and back cover.
If you have ADD you will enjoy the way this book is organized.
