While the proposition in the subtitle is curious and very interesting, I think it was much better conveyed, much to his credit, in the author's presentation at TED (www.ted.com). The patronizing, somewhat self-help tone also did not appeal too much to my taste, particularly in the later parts of the book.

With that said, and if you're new to this theory, or keen to learn about how we make choices and become happier or sadder because of it, it's a very nice read. ]]> <![CDATA[Bruno added 'Guns, Germs and Steel: A short history of everybody for the last 13,000 years']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70878161 to: Guns, Germs and Steel: A short history of everybody for the last 13,000 years (Paperback) by Jared Diamond

Very interesting analysis of how the environment shapes who you are and how humanity evolved throughout the millennia to come to its present state.

Some of the arguments are somewhat repeated though, and I had the feeling that the whole book could be edited down to about half its size. ]]>
