I read the intro, got the main thesis, flipped ahead and saw that the rest of the book was just example after example reinforcing the main point rather than any new insight.

Didn’t agree with the unsubstantiated premise, stopped reading after a few chapters

Huberman is…kind of a terrible example of Gladwell being wrong.

He is the epitome of an expert in one area who spends his life outside of his lane, much like Jordan Peterson, and isn’t even particularly credible in his main thing.

Nah, most of them are still just rentiers.  Which Smith explicitly was against and saw as anti-capitalist.
