Hey ,
haven't heard about the book or author before. But I can understand that you are a bit concerned about the style people like he might use. This is often far from the real scientific background and 100% marketing. My job is to do molecular biological and genetical analyses of patients. Therefore, I often wonder about the way these issues are communicated.
First rule: "People are no mitochondria on two legs!"
There is much more you have to consider. Unfortunately, many people reduce complex problems on single origins. That's why I make this series. To explain that a biological system is more complex than the beliefs of "gurus".
Have a nice weekend
