This continues to remind me of other pop-sociology books I’ve been mildly disappointed by lately (From Strength to Strength, Digital Minimalism, etc.). Heavy on anecdotes, light on research and sufficient explanation, which makes them less convincing.

The introduction was good, but it doesn’t look like actual proof is coming. Is this one of those theories you’re supposed to accept just because it “sounds right”? It has also completely ignored the behaviors we develop based on groups of people with whom we agree or want to be associated, in favor of us imitating (or differentiating ourselves from) individuals.
