Alright he's winning me over! Now that we've gotten past the inexplicably obvious intro, and the over attention to the Born to Run premises, we're getting into some interesting anthropology and physiology, and the writing continues to be very engaging

Okay we've gotten past the Captain Obvious parts and are starting to dig into more detailed and nuanced info. A lot of it I've actually heard before but that's not the author's fault. Also he's starting to win me over with the relentlessly charming writing style

Alternative book title: "Why 'Born to Run' is Wrong"
I get the feeling this book is aimed solidly at people who read "Born to Run" and either made it their religion or were made anxious by it. I did read Born to Run but I wasn't really affected by it. As a result I'm finding the detailed and fervent debunking to be kind of uninteresting.
