Interesting idea, and there's a lot to take in here. Others have noted that you don't really read this book are much as peruse it, and that's my experience: I read the first half dozen or so, then flipped around a bit.

Not a waste of time at all, but not the most enlightening read, either.

Muddled mix of memoir and self-help. Has some great quotes from various sources, but Rubin's writing is not engaging at all.

I honestly was not expecting a lot out of this. however it was very interesting to read about the research. A bit too self-helpy in parts, but overall well worth the time.
Great concept, and some interesting information. Overall, though, I didn't find much useful.
