I like reading different point of view and meditations on the world in which we live. This was perhaps just a bit too scientific for my taste. An interesting addition to the ongoing conversation about our world and times.

I like this book because it touches on things we all experience, especially the first chapter about the inconsistencies in our beliefs and what happens when we're faced with facts. Another thing I love is that each chapter ends with recommended readings, rather than having them all at the end of the book. This makes it easy to explore more about topics I find interesting right away.

In the introduction, the book promises to explain all the violence and tragedy in human history and offer suggestions on how to make things better. However, as I read further, I felt the title could be more accurate. The book mainly focuses on how to raise children well and build a better society, which is quite different from what I expected from the cover. The main message is about the importance of children's growth and development and how our actions toward them shape society. A title that reflects this focus would be more fitting and could attract more readers.

Additionally, I disagree with the book's emphasis on the dominance of brain hemisphere. Many studies have shown this to be a myth. In addition, I believe we actually don't have specific learning styles as unconsciously we actually use all of our senses when we learn.

From a technical perspective, I do not know why it is not responsive to flip the page when reading this book through Adobe Digital Editions (I read on my laptop). It is inconvenient and annoying to read when I am really into the book.
