Rated Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis 6/10

Rated The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined 10/10

Overall, an excellent book. By reading the last three chapters one can get a nice psychological overview of the decline of violence. However, Pinker writes of the history so well that you'd miss an excellent historical perspective. Worth a read.

Finished reading They Poured Fire on Us from the Sky: The True Story of Three Lost Boys from Sudan

Rated Creative Confidence: Unleashing the Creative Potential Within Us All 4/10

Not really a fan of this kind of writing. Anecdotal evidence throughout. Tons of case studies. Wish there was more empirical evidence. Left feeling like it was too good to be true. Personally I felt the writing was often patronizing.

Rated David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants 4/10

Hasn't gripped me like Blink or Tipping Point. Putting it back on the shelf for now, maybe I'll finish it another time.
