Miksi emme saa unta? by Darian Leader

2.0

Can't say I enjoyed reading this book, as this goes to the category of "it's important to read things you don't agree with". I would've hoped that the author would have positioned himself clearly from the beginning as a Freudian psychoanalytic and established where he stands; now I as a reader had to debunk things as I turned pages. It became clear that this book is written as a kinda-sorta-answer to Matthew Walker's excellent Why we sleep, but Leader's book is highly un-scientific, full of basic argumentative errors and far fetched (but of course in the Freudian framework probably spot on) interpretations of folk tales and movies.
