There’s one detail that really sticks in my craw- the healthcare innovator who parked across the bike lane. In Holland! That’s basically like parking across two lanes of traffic! When a story comes out about that guy, I’m going to nod knowingly.

I was really surprised about this book. I wasn't sure that I would like it, as it is not the type of book I would normally go for, but I actually really loved it and I found it very interesting. The book explores human nature, psychology and history and I found it all fascinating. I was eager to read each chapter and it kept me enthralled.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, NetGalley and The Pigeonhole for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It's lazy to be a cynic. It's even lazier to say you're a realistic to cover up the fact that you're a cynic. I would be lying if I said I haven't been cynical, at times. It's a weird shortcut towards looking smart like a critical thinker. I'd be lying if I said I didn't dress that cynicism up as idealism once in awhile.

This book is not perfect but its really good for one particular reason. It invites one away from the walled off worlds of optimism and pessimism or idealism and fatalism and suggests that maybe there is a human place that is both better for all, sustainable, and attainable

In the afterglow of reading this book, the walls of those inner kingdoms are down and the selves that occupied them are meeting in the middle ground, introducing themselves, and setting a time to meet for coffee.
