I had a hard time reading Attia's book because something seemed so extreme and vigilant about his approach. The last chapter really blew that all open in the dramatic portrayal of how psychologically unhealthy many aspects of his life are, for seemingly tragic reasons. For me, the trauma driving his perfectionism brought into question the ethos of his whole approach, regardless of how sound or not the science may be.
