Tempted to read, write or think anything about the free energy principle? Read Kate’s book first! The world would be a better place if everyone followed this simple rule.

Unfortunately the release has been delayed another two months, but the pre-print can be downloaded here osf.io/preprints/ps... or I’m happy to email a PDF to anyone interested!
