I am just dipping my toe into learning about the subconscious triggers and such so this short book was recommended to me by a colleague. And since I am a Seth Godin fan, I quickly related to the author.I appreciate that Sebastian doesn't spend a lot of time getting too technical. I for one don't need to get bogged down in the science of it. So I was glad it took me less than an hour to read this including interruptions.He takes us through some simple questions, most of which I found myself nodding in agreement. I hate the fact that I react to certain triggers. Now I know I can retrain myself to not react.I have read (or started to read) a half dozen books on this subject and I have to say this one did far more for me simply because it was not overly wordy. More than that, I finally understand about the amygdala or lizard brain.Each section has a summary to remind you what was discussed, a very desirable feature for those of us who are highly distracted. Good job on a controversial subject.
