Reading Strangers to Ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconscious

Rated Micromotives and Macrobehavior 8/10

Anyone interested in everyday behavior and the social sciences should definitely pick this up and read through the first couple of chapters. But the book is a bit all over the place. Sometimes it feels like there are too many examples; other times, not enough. The framework Schelling tries to set up can be hard to follow. Nevertheless, the big ideas in the book are eye-opening and the examples are drawn from everyday life. <br/><br/>Whether you read it in its entirety or just the first couple chapters and skim the rest, I imagine you'll look at social patterns in the world with a slightly different perspective.

Rated The Hate Race 6/10

Well written, and a must-read perspective on race relations in Australia. <br/><br/>The narrative itself is okay. I'm generally not a huge fan of everyday memoirs, but this one is worth picking up, given the point of view which it provides. I write this as white man, originally from the US but who has lived in Australia the last couple of years.
