This is David Brooks notes on the many books on relationships that he has read. There's nothing wrong with that and its worth a read as an introduction to this topic. However, it will be only an introduction. The information is general when it should be specific (he only provide a few examples of questions to ask tog et to know someone) and specific when it could be more general (focusing too much on individual stories to make his point). In the end, you are not left with much to take away from the book and unsure what it was all about.

What drove me up the wall about this book is that the advice is pretty damn good--but demonstrates a lack of being able to break away from the establishment framework, an almost--but not quite--both sides-ism that was pretty irritating to read when you don't see the political framework of the united states as "red vs. blue", it's super weird--to me--

to be using Arthur Balfour that was the face of the Balfour Declaration of 1917 that was the root of the beginning of the takeover and eventual genocide of Palestine and George Warcrimes Bush(excuse me??) getting a fun lil story rubbed me wrong.

BOO.

It ended up being something I thought I should read and not something I wanted to read.
