Ratings and reviews

Some good concepts but lacking any real applicable methodology. The awareness of how the reward system works is very important and can be applied to other parts of our lives than just food. Overall a good read for anyone exploring the nature of the human condition.

Well written and presented. Convincing logic.

Just breathtakingly masterful work
