This sounds like an example of "pseudo-x" book. Where the "x" is science, philosophy, anthropology, or something like that. Not a book I would read expecting fact, or any pragmatic insight into the mechanics of the world or the self, but useful in accessing new perspective. An experience something like Kant's aesthetic theory of "free play" between the imagination and understanding. I find being in that "free play" mind state can boost my creativity and productivity (YMMV). In that sense I can appreciate a book like this and find it valuable. But there's certainly a dangerous line between 'outside the box thinking' and 'outside of reason thinking'. The first is useful and creative, the later can be genuinely harmful. I wish so many people wouldn't try to force things they like into the categories of science or truth, and would be ok with having subjective appreciation for them and getting personal satisfaction from them. I also wish people wouldn't feel the need to try to bash someone's appreciation/satisfaction of a thing with it's scientific incongruity. As long as that thing isn't harming others - meh, live your life.
