PositiveAir MailThe big twist in the story is telegraphed so early that you wonder which reader doesn’t see it. But it still leads you to ask questions, some of which Axton can’t answer. She also includes photos of herself and her family, and their mundane, generic, Midwestern Americanness—all offices, dogs, Christmas trees, and rocking chairs on porches—makes the story even creepier. It’s a Black Mirror episode about greed, fear, betrayal, sex, and self-creation. After reading The Less People Know About Us, I got a password manager for all my accounts. Thank you for that, Axton Betz-Hamilton.

PositiveBloomberg BusinessweekCharles Duhigg, the author, elevates the life-hacking genre...His writing is smart, measured, and fun. In Smarter Faster there are even little cartoons to illustrate some of his ideas. He uses the Malcolm Gladwell model of shaping academic studies into hacks but applies a less excitable tone and a more cinematic style.
