I think there were some helpful ideas in that book, but also the author took a lot of liberty in the interpretation of data he cited.
For example, he spends a lot of time discussing lower rates of reported suicide at wartime, as if people go around attributing suicide as a cause of death to bodies they discover in a war zone. Or that someone who loses their life acting reckless in battle must be is inherently a happier person than someone who takes their own life some other way.
