The first part of the books just seems like common sense that people ignore on a day to day basis. I would strongly recommend this for any young parents or soon to be parents.

I really do enjoy Mathew Syed's work, the first 3/4 of this book were the most interesting to me, I felt the book started to lose momentum when Mathew started exploring genetics and enhanced performance, still engaging but I found I was looking forward to the end of the book.
