The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement
I had high expectations of this book. I enjoy learning about human social behavior and in this book, Brooks presents it through the story of Harold and Erica, two fictionalized characters. Since I'm more of a fiction lover vs. non-fiction I thought this would be a perfect blend. Unfortunately, the characters are pretty two dimensional making their story not that interesting. But by presenting research or observations through these characters, I couldn't really tell what was a true studied social behavior vs. something made up just to suit the story. Definitely some of the observations were interesting, but it lacked the overall impact of a good non-fiction book and was definitely not worth reading as far as the lives of Harold and Erica.
