This book was very interesting, but for some reason I found it difficult to get through. Some experts were extremely compelling, while others felt like a slog. And I think I wanted something different from this book than what it ended up delivering, though I couldn’t articulate what that is. 

I did learn a lot of interesting stuff about humanity and our odd quirks, and even though it was tough to get through, it was still worth the read.

While the topic itself was interesting, didn't really vibe with the writing style and the author seemed prone to going off on tangents that broke the flow of the story
