The motivated mind Book

This book came and went on the good/ bad scale. There was heaps that was very interesting. But heaps that wasn't.
Throughout the book you felt as if Persaud repeated himself. I think the book was just written like an essay with the whole statement explain example thing going on. Often though because of how obviously intellectual Persaud is you needed the repetition just so you understood what he meant clearly.
I would say this book has so many ideas in it. So many details of experiments, theories and things that have beeb done, that actually for a psych student or something this would be a great book to get a fairly thorough overview of many things.
As I read through I felt like I was nodding my head in agreement heaps like yeah thats about right. And i think hes certainly onto something here and theres tons of useful stuff in here.
I would say this book is frustrating not only because of the repetitions and the language use and the bad attempts at humour but also because as I read it seemed like Persaud was writing for other Doctors, he probably was writing what he knew which is the Doctoring profession so thats why his examples came from there, and often times he seemed sexist in that he wrote for males. In one section he is talking about differences in males and females and he gives ideas for men to get ahead based on genetics, hormones etc but fails to do the same for females and even alludes to the idea that women shouldn't be as driven or motivated as men.
I also hated the last 2 chapters. The last actual chapter was just boring and seemed completely pointless to me. And the epilogue talked about suicide from a perspective that not only was it ok but that it should be applauded or something. It hardly if at all stated that suicide shouldn't be a thing people do. Firstly i thought why is this even in the book at all? And secondly I thought this is terrible like hes actively encouraging people to end their lives. Absolutely LOATHED this chapter.

But enjoyed a lot of the rest of the book.
