This book is pretty logical in its approach yet it lacks insights. Until recently I'd have applauded this book about why smart people do stupid things but even the word stupid itself is an unfortunate label as to why certain things come up in the life of "smart" people. From reading this book and reflecting on experience the thread that lead to those issues are never so easily detected and broken it may take years to detect self sabotage patterns because they are so subtle and deceitful and manipulate the person to unproductive ends. If it was so easy no smart people would do stupid things because they affect their self esteem and sense of self in ways that lead to deep depressions and dark nights.It is decent book yet it has not hit the issue in the nail nor on its head.
