Dia-minds: Decoding the Mental Habits of Successful Thinkers Book

I am a bit ambivalent about this book. It started out promising and it has some good points, but at times a bit more background about people or theories mentioned would be helpful. The book made me "think about thinking while thinking" - sometimes. But it also has passages that explained simple concepts complicated, like the concept of awareness / consciousness / mindfulness or however you want to call it. The concept of becoming aware of what we do instead of running on autopilot and getting steered by our deep ingrained (once learned) believes, our habits and rituals. Its not exactly written this way but its one of the concepts the book is aiming for (in my perception).
