Negative Positive
Title: Very questionable authority
Review: The title of the book is a great idea, and it obviously resonates with lots of people including me as I purchased the book. I should have paid more attention to the one review pointing out the error regarding fish oil studies.When I got my copy, I skimmed it. First, the initial several pages of quotes filled with praise were all from middle rank or obscure sources. No accolades from the AMA here, or any known brain researchers. Last, the final study quoted was on whether prayer helps patients. The author quoted a study showing it does. That is not my reading of the literature. How can I trust the rest of the information in the book given that mediocrity ?I threw the book away in great frustration and annoyance and will have to start searching again. This time I will look for a book from a respected scientist and take more time before I bite.
Is the review positive or negative?
