The irony of having a whole chapter on over-confidence when this entire book is the perfect example of someone who does not realise they are not hitting the notes they think they’re hitting.

I was expecting more from this. More in-depth, unbiased analysis but instead, as another reviewer put it, it’s more like a random collection of personal essays with a veeeeerrry tenuous link between them to the overarching topic. 

Honestly, it was a bit weird and I’m not even sure what the point of the book was or what the key takeaway was meant to be?

Disappointing because I absolutely loved Cultish. Maybe the author just felt too much pressure to release another hit in the wake of the success of the first book but this one definitely could have used a bit more time and attention before going to market.
