Summary: most boring, repetitive text ever
Review: This book is the most boring, repetitive book ever. Many concepts and themes are repeated over and over throughout chapters, without proper linkages when necessary. For example, the chapter entitled "Why Do We Believe What We Do" and "Are Human Beings Free" covers much of the same things, the idea of freedom of thought, of where our thoughts and beliefs come from. Yet instead of mentioning this obvious link, the author repeats all the factors and themes from the previous chapter all over again. It definitely does not make for stimulating reading. The same goes for the idea of socialization influencing culture. Whenever culture is mention the ideas and concepts behind it are regugitated all over again. On top of this, the author sees the need to use 20 examples to illustrate one point. While a few are useful, too many makes the book tedious to read. A lot of skim reading is required. The author tends to rattle on and on... reiterating what was said by rephrasing what is essentially the same point. Overall it was not an interesting or stimulating book.
