"The Social Animal" by David Brooks

book review by Riley Burnham 2/25/2024

i started out liking this one, breezing through the first half

somewhere around 8-9 hours in, i completely lost interest; eventually consigning the book to the bin of "bullshit"

it's a lot of The Science, which maybe *some* has answers to reality, altho a lot asks the wrong questions

we're also treated to political theater cloaked as history; so this is a LONG gum-flap of minimal importance

key points: we're social, & our lives are usually helped/enriched by our relationships 👍
