really liked it

This breezy title ticks a lot of my nonfiction boxes: accessible Evolutionary Psychology tied to an engaging narrative featuring the author in a bit part, enough spiritual slant to stimulate without overbearing, wacky digressions, and practical tips in easy to digest portions.

4 stars, quite possibly a personal 5. I could maybe see myself owning a copy.

Now I'm 'box breathing' like a man possessed!"
