BATB score: 8.8/10 ⭐️ A complete collection of all the popular social psychology fallacy out there. Trust me, this is the only social psychology book you'll ever need to own / to read. Best to: know that David McRaney refers to Daniel Kahneman "Thinking Fast and Slow" and to Dan Ariely "Predictably Irrational" while both Daniel and Dan referred back to David; seems like a small social psychologist community eh? Best for: if you have not explored any social psychology book or

BATB score: 4/10 ☘️ Best to: the book delivers what it intends to do; 100 quick little tips/techniques of what millionaires do (presented in no particular order of importance) Lessons 1-2 on 'why do you want to be wealthy' and 'what does wealth mean to you' was quite deep soul-searching and critical. Then Lesson 100 talks about how at the end being happy and grateful suffices any monetary gains. #whatnow? Best for: you can read a lesson a day every time you visit the potty 💩

BATB score: 6.5/10 RIP Daniel Kahneman - the first famous author (that BATB knows of) to choose euthanasia / assisted suicide at 90 years old *Reader Discretion Advised* An unpopular book review of a popular book coming up... I salute to anyone who finishes this book; for me it's just too much! This book makes me hate reading.

BATB score: 3/10 🤦‍♀️ the book lives in 2006 (as per its published year) - blaming and slapping myself for picking such a book Best for: exceptionally wordy superficially covering heavy topics like price discrimination, taxation on the marginal, globalization, global warming, and China's strides Best to: skip this book.

BATB score: 6.78/10 🧑‍🔬🧬💊 I am happy that Dr. David A. Sinclair PhD is very passionate in his revolutionary field of study against ageing; his determination to discuss and raise this underdog subject is heartfelt.

BATB score: 7/10 💸 Reader discretion is advised: heavy. very heavy book dated back to the 1970s stock market. not for the light-hearted amateur readers.

BATB score: 7/10 from 🐰 to 🐲 Best to: know that 90% of advertising doesn't work; advertising is not all that powerful to make behavioural changes, incremental sales, or a shift in societal norm #blahblah.

BATB score: 6.6/10 🎃 Loved loved loved Rutger Bregman's "Humankind: A Hopeful History" 2019 masterpiece, yet his earlier triumph 2014 was a mishmash 🥵 Best to: numerous great controversial points: free money to end poverty, 15-hour work week, borderless nations, eradication of well-paid bullshit jobs; unquestionably concepts worth thinking about but it's all over the place and roughly substantiated Best for: believers that this world can be fixed to utopia - gross national

BATB score: 8/10 🥰 I feel unlocked, uncaged, and untamed!

BATB score: 5/10 💔 this book could have been an email Best to: everything there is to this book is in its table of contents - reading into each chapters does not really make any difference or add any further value Best for: just read the table of contents of all the seven CEO test questions - doing so would suffice Best as: the book cover was definitely clickbait

BATB score: 3.5/10 🥵 *Reader Discretion Advised* a thick ass excruciatingly detailed, boring and complex explanation of pre-Immelt, Immelt's 16 years as CEO of General Electrics, and post-Immelt - and every single damn thing that happened in between #painful #JeffImmelt I gave up at page 80/312.
