On the other hand, I found his one-day lecture banal and wildly over-priced.

Agree. More like some kind of a monotonic presentation rather an educational one. Books are great for reference though. If you had a choice, just buy all the books and skip one day session.

Same here - loved the book and was very excited for the one day lecture but it was probably the most boring and banal one I’ve ever attended.
