The Social Animal/David Brooks/424 pgs



A book that covers a lot of ground: from how we make decisions, form relationships, what determines our social status, how our character is shaped, to what makes us fulfilled and many things in between. Part of it is presented in story form, following a fictional couple (Harold and Erica) from their childhoods to the end of life, although I would not call them a typical, average pair. Contains interesting tidbits, such as the best 4-letter word to use in hangman. Anyone interested in sociology or human nature would like this.
