Beautiful but also tragic and heartbreaking. Some heavy themes like domestic violence, abuse and rape. But boy oh boy, Atlas Corrigan will steal your heart.

Absolutely a big fat nope. I should have known better, as someone who eats meat every single day multiple times a day, that anything with "plant based" on it would not jive well or contain accurate info.

I was right.

The one and only reason I read this was because a friend who I know and trust - and who eats meat, by the way - recommended it and said it was super helpful and she was implementing it. Well, I'll be having a word with her. Because, just no. This book was wildly inaccurate and this author has it all wrong. I mean, sure... let's eat our veggies but saying that only Celiac individuals need to avoid gluten is garbage. Saying meat is inflammatory is garbage. Saying keto diets are damaging is garbage (when done correctly, this isn't true). Those are just a few. I know plant based is like the "hot" thing right now, but please avoid this book. I'm going to go eat a steak to recover from the stupidity.

ALL. OVER. THE. PLACE. He might be one of the greatest minds and philosophers or whatever, but I really didn't love how it much it jumped around and was just disorganized with no real substance. It was almost like poetry? I think it was just meant to be smart and powerful and poignant but just came across as boring and scattered and meaningless. Skip it and opt for a different self help/life change book that actually enthralls you instead of bores you.

I do wish it was more self help and less "story" but the actual points made in this book are STELLAR and worth reading to improve overall health.
