[Mya · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book was well written and went into detail on the themes and topics discussed.

[Alma · Rating 3 out of 5]

Readable but super general and often filled with things everyone already knows. The theory stuff was good but I wish it had spent more time on application and modalities--some approaches were just given a sentence
