I think the author might manage to cover some of the important basics of evolutionary psychology and biology, but I found it very hard to pick out any useful information buried in his loose and rambling writing style. I commend the author for trying to cover a highly technical area in a manner that tries to be accessible to a lay audience, but it doesn't work for me. I also found the frequent biblical references and quotes to be excessive and unnecessary.

A much better coverage of the "gene-centered way of life" can be found in Vertosick's "The Genius Within." While this requires slow and careful reading, it should be accessible (and quite fascinating)to the non-scientists among us.
