Lacking one key feature

While the book presents some interesting ideas, it's missing something very important: citations. Throughout the author refers to this or that study that supports their (sometimes quite pseudoscience sounding arguments) yet not once do they provide a citation for the study, or even give the name of the study's authors. As a result you just can't take anything they say seriously.

I expected more

I know that this is just a summary but there are a lot of examples and concepts that are missed in this book.

This book provides a summary and analysis of The Willpower Instinct. I read this book to provide an overview before reading the actual book. It provided a good basis to then go on and read the book.
