I just started reading the book today because Gelman's Bayesian Data Analysis seems too theoretical and sometimes hard to parse. But this book seems too much of the opposite, there's almost no math...


The math is the easy part of statistics. What really marks the people who get it is that they understand the part that isn't math.


There’s math, you just have to keep reading. It starts out very conceptual. I think Gelman’s book will be a lot more approachable after McElreth.
