This is overall a good meditation on how we work best. A lot more Jewel than I expected, and sometimes the book feels more like a collection of survivorship bias anecdotes than practical studies or applications, but throughout it remains a good reminder to slow down, because that's how we work best.

Particularly depressing in our modern age was discovering that hunter gatherers worked fewer hours than we do now. I guess they hadn't yet discovered the blessings of capitalism.
