Incredibly well delivered, easy to understand topic that is for everyone. I would say a must read for every adult and every parent.

Narration let’s this down

Gillespie should stick to writing books, not reading them. He’s too fast and sounds bored. Better when I reduced his speed to 0.8 but would benefit from a professional VO artist’s rendition.

very insightful

one of the best books I've read regarding the cause of mental illness. I know a lot about the topic from experience and this boom has taught me the most valuable information do far.

Essential Knowledge

I’m listening to this for the third time - I’m addicted!
Haw. Seriously this is essential knowledge for everyone both to treat and prevent (although I can attest that treatment is a whole other journey of its own, one that I am still enduring).
I realize now that all the self-help initiatives I have tried in the past (lots) had no hope until the brain chemistry basics are sorted.
I have recommended this to friends who struggled with behavioral issues with children and it gave them light bulb moments too.
It is narrated slightly too fast for my slow brain so I turned the speed down a bit which allowed my comprehension to keep up with both the information and his dry humor.
Thanks David. I hope you’re now working on a brain chemistry explanation for extremism and conspiracy theorists.

Great book but needed a new narrator

The book is excellent. It provided a lot of things to consider and was well researched. Gillespie would have done better to have used someone else as narrator. He is very monotone and his humour, which I have appreciated reading in his other books, just feel flat.

David writes a (dopa)mean piece of literature

This was spectacular. Simple. Elegant and palatable. Delivered in a relaxingly dry and occasionally sarcastic candour. Thanks David. I admire your contribution to this very important issue.

Something here for everyone.

A fairly broad exploration into how and why we do many things. Food, drugs, social media, exercise, sleep… the list goes on with what David helps to explain and guide you to improve. Highly recommend. Great work David.

Magnificently explained

This book should be played and educated to the masses. Resolution is always in simplicity such as understanding root cause rather than the focus symptoms only

Monotone narration with very dry content made it difficult to stay focused and listen to.

I read a review saying that this book was easy to understand. So I bought it. But it wasn’t easy for me to understand.

I found the first half confusing. I’m not sure if it was due to the content or the narrator’s monotone voice. Either way, it was difficult to listen to.

I preserved though and found the book more monotonous and even more boring. The narrator read a joke, which I’m sure would’ve been funny if he spoke with any enthusiasm at all.

Shame my review can’t really reflect on the content so much because I found myself not being able to concentrate on the narrator.
