Kyoto Kaelin

The book is way too sensationalized and ideological in scope to offer any meaningful insights into improving youth mental healthcare. The author relies heavily on straw man arguments and Cherry-picked anecdotes that all suggest the same idea: “if there’s a chance it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t work” which is a flawed statement in and of itself. The author also commits a number of correlation-causation fallacies, assuming there is a cause-and-effect relationship simply because two variables are correlated without going the extra mile to meaningfully prove there is a causal relationship. I’m also quite familiar with a few of the studies that are mentioned in the book which i believe the author Cherry-picks or straight up misinterprets to prove their point. This book had the potential to be extremely insightful given the interesting and vital nature of the subject material. However, this book fumbles spectacularly in its execution.
