Product Information
In “The Social Animal”, New York Times columnist David Brooks offers a story of how success happens, told through the lives of a composite American couple. Brooks explores the unconscious mind where character is formed and important life decisions are made.
In his story, Brooks takes the couple from infancy to old age while revealing the deeply social aspect of our minds and exposing the bias in modern culture that overemphasizes rationalism, individualism, and IQ. He also breaks down conventional definitions of success and looks toward a culture of trust and humility.
