This is one of the best paleo style books I have read so far. Most paleo books have a common criticism of not enough scientific resources, this one has this many sources. So much that they did not put in the book (strange to me) but its on his blog.

Some big take away you need carbs and the best sources are starch based carb such as rice and potatoes. You can safely eat about a 1 lb a day. Its best to not eat you body weight in protein, although I have since forgetten the reason for it. They go into great detail why in the book. Fats should be almost half the calories you eat as well. Vinegar can blunt the insulin spiking effects of potatoes.
There is tons of information on supplements and I would not recommend taking all of the ones suggested. He does mention they are in foods and they are often the best form of the nutrients.
I wouldn't follow all of his advice especially the fitness, he isn't the healthiest looking guy body wise, but the nutrition parts are great. Very well researched and lots of food for thought and body.
Info about blue light is present as well, how to sleep better which might be new info for some readers. This involves a lot about circadian rhythm including things to do in the morning and afternoon which affect sleep cycles.
The book is about 400 pages and reads fast, although the print is a touch small for far sighted guys.
