The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement by David BrooksMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The beginning was really good. It was a compilation of the science of human thinking and culture with a hypothetical couple as a storytelling vehicle. But at the end, there were a lot of Brooks's own political views without enough research cited. Frequently Brooks made policy assumptions or cited correlations with no clear explanation of why he was assuming causation. Correlation is not causation! Say it ten times before bed every night!
5 stars for the beginning and end, 2 stars for the word vomit in the politics section.
