Funny and thought-provoking. "Looking back, what do you regret? ... Failures of kindness."

Started reading/listening to Dec 14. It's not as funny as I hoped/expected. I am learning about a few historical figures I didn't know about before (Joseph Basalgette and Benjamin Disraeli)

I appreciate the background the author provides on Sigmund Freud. Her tone sounds a little jaded when she writes about her views on academia and her own experience with the status games in her field. I don't like that she uses the term 'sex' when describing how animals mate -- sex and mating are not the same thing, and her use of the word detracts from her message that animals behave the way they do based on wiring.
