I enjoyed this book. Though it does address the amateur spirit (aka "American character") it is more a comparison of amateurs and professionals within several different fields, from bird watching to telescope building to biohacking. The term amateur has many connotations, and Jack Hitt explores many of them. In addition to great content, I love Hitt's writing style. Informative, engaging, and funny.
