BATB score: 4.44/10
shocking how one can write so much about a sole two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system aka the 4-quadrant graph; 250+ pages on red, blue, green, and yellow.
Unfortunately, no one is a single color but rather a two-tone or tri-colored. #complicated
Best to: summarize the book into four A4 pages (one for each color) then read that summary
Best as: an instagram picture with that edgy cover and attention grabbing title
BATB score: 4.44/10 (exactly 1.11 point for each quadrant)
p.s. I am a Yellow to fellow Yellows, Blues and Greens; and a Red to Reds.
