This is the happiest story you will ever read. It's about two people who led wonderfully fulfilling, successful lives. The odd thing was, they weren't born geniuses. They had no extraordinary physical or mental gifts. Nobody would have picked them out at a young age and said they were destined for greatness. How did they do it?

Rezension zu „The Social Animal “
"Brooks gets inside the head, explains how the brain works... it's like frieze-framing a novel and discussing the motivation of the characters. It's fascinating..." The Evening Standard "The book everyone's talking about" The Guardian "A fascinating study of the unconscious mind and its impact on our lives" The Economist "At Westminster they should be listening hard" The Times
