the chapter on drugs felt out of place, but the rest of the book was awesome. even if you are familiar with some of the content (as i was from reading outliers and other similar books), the material in this book is more exhaustive, and Syed's perspective on the topic (as a world champion and an outlier himself) is essential to understanding topics like expert chunking (e.g. the part where he plays tennis with a pro). great book

great book from an essential perspective

I liked the book. Basically, practice makes perfect. Start early, keep on training, be mindful about it and eventually you will be very good at it.
