The social animal by David Brooks

I liked the concept and objective of the book, to present modern psychology in the form of a long story of a modern but a very Western American couple. This makes the whole presentation rather restrictive, only to two White Western American nurtured protagonists. I just wish we could get some other authors looking at various other cultures in a similar fashion, but I guess the drive has to come from other cultures and I shall not take anything away from the wonderfully scholarly work done by the author in achieving his objective. I loved the corporate cultural bits as well where a detailed analysis of a very real problem of todays world is very nicely portrayed. parts of the story are riveting but others drag on sometimes. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the Western cultural lifestyles of successful couples, along with the thousands of movies and documentaries complimenting this same worthy domain to death.

Its time authors start to use their great skills to analyze other cultures in the world as well.
