True, but to say the book is just Godels theorem is underselling it. At its most clinical it is a survey of various sciences, at its essence it is an intuitive theory. The importance of Godels theorem is that an intuitive notion can be proven true in a mathematical framework, as opposed to the piles of bullshit pseudoscience new-age stuff saying Heisenburgs uncertainty principle makes everything subjective.
