Not recommended. While there are clearly genius ideas here, the tone and the half of the content get in the way. The book makes the following main points: Statistics as a field has a dogmatic tendency to avoid talking about causation. For any given study, the most important question is what causes what. The author's do-calculus is the best tool we have to study causation. I don't need to be convinced of 2, I don't care at all about 1, and the book convinced me I should understand 3.
