One objection is that the information is a bit removed from actual instrumental rationality (of the sort CFAR is meant to provide). It's like reading about muscle function and reflexes instead of reading a karate book (which is still not learning karate). Some of the stuff is actionable, but my overall impression is that much work is needed to make it so by the reader for the bulk of it.
Dropping Martial will lower the claim to reasonable levels IMO.
OTOH, "The Art of Rationality" just sounds... generic.
