I don't know how much this book is "right" or even how much i agree with it, but i read this for the first time a while back and it has given me tools and language that profoundly changed how i think and talk about sociality.
As the standard disclaimer I'm putting up in quick succession for several (11, I think) books that I'm "reviewing" primarily from sometimes even long-distant memory, I'm not properly reviewing them so much as commenting briefly on what they meant to me. I'm unfamiliar with the site; maybe it's unnecessary to say anything.
This is one I'm pretty sure I heard about when I was "doing my own research" before it was cool. I'd meant to read it for years until I finally did.
I really associate/"compare and contrast" this one with The Art of War, which I think they both talk about, like, information control and "the definition of the situation." Just radically different (but let's not forget, interrelated) contexts.
I think I said it on my review of The Art of War that I'm "not a wartime consigliere" or whatever as the saying goes. I do think it's important to remember and acknowledge the simple fact that, in a country with a military budget greater than the next 10 countries combined, our actions actually do have life-or-death consequences, so let's not honestly, in our heart of hearts, be so fucking glib and superficial, please. I'm probably just on a tangent, but I think there's a song literally called "There's More to Life than This."
If that seems super hardcore, maybe the next book I "review"--The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People--might lighten the mood, I don't know.

Obligatory reading for anyone working in the communication field. Foundational book on non verbal communication, gaining relevance everyday with the advent of social media.

This may have been written long ago but it has amazing continued relevance.
Good ideas: I'm sure they were revolutionary at the time. Not that crazy from a modern perspective, though
