Fuck em. Give me the bullet list and piss off. I don't need their bullshit stories.
haha, yeah, basically. To be fair this is like.....most nonfiction books about the human condition, whether psuedo-sociological or economic or psychological or whatever. They can provide valuable insights, for sure. I just think there's certain authors who really run with the formula and it loses some of the effect of macro, while concentrating to heavily on the micro.

LOL
I am actually a huge fan of anecdotes, in fact I learn bigger concepts through them very easily. Like, if a professor uses some personal story about something to illustrate a bigger concept I will remember that shit forever. I remember weird stories about my teachers from years ago. Similar with academic articles when they use interviews or survey data to inform about a topic. But for some reason when it's these long, drawn out, exaggerated chapters I just tune out. Like thanks Brad, I got your point 10 pages ago but keep going with it or something.
And it's always Brad too. God dammit, Brad.
I got married on Saturday!
Congrats!
