Goodreads asked Neil deGrasse Tyson:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Neil deGrasse Tyson I birthed it whole, from a lifetime of observing how people behave in society, knowing that it all looked different to me as a scientist, but especially as a scientist with a cosmic perspective on all things. This led to chapter titles that visit some of the most important sectors of human emotion: Truth & Beauty, Law & Order, Life & Death, Gender & Identity, Color & Race, Meatarians & Vegetarians, and Conflict & Resolution.
