★★☆☆☆
To me, nothing new, not useful.
I got the Audible version of this two days ago, and started listening.
I wish I had also got the Kindle version because then I could cut and
past a small excerpt to explain my problems with the book.
There are a lot of speculative stories and opinions, references to poor
studies or even TV shows. To me it is not as scientific and rigorous as
I was expecting, nor did it really explain the imperative for this
Scout Mentality or how one would even control their "mentality"
anyway.
The idea makes sense, but so do a lot of things people just say in just
normal conversation, and that's how this Audible book struck me.
I'd love to chat at a party with the author, or watch her speak in a
YouTube video, but paying so much for an audiobook is not a good
choice for me.
I have limited time for reading, and listening, and want to maximize
the actual facts, science and innovative ideas I expose myself to, and
this books while an interesting idea is not hard science enough.
