Esquire reporter A. J. Jacobs goes on a quest to live rationally and oust all the irrational , biased and bigoted thinking patterns he’s collected during his life. It’s an amusing and revealing read.
This has got to be the most wonderful brain quirk around. It’s built-in biological karma. You trash-talk someone, it boomerangs back on you. You say kind things, you become a hero. So calling a book “ingenious” actually makes people think I’m ingenious. Being a blurb whore is good business.
