Why We're Polarized by Ezra Klein

informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

I like Klein's voice, he speaks in a way that works for me. His tone has the right amount of emotion without going overboard and becoming overly opinion led. I like when authors share a point I took for granted and explain where it is right and where it is flawed. This book was paradigm shifting for me in a few minor ways, which is something I look for in non-fiction. I feel like he is thorough and fair. He is upfront about his personal beliefs but acknowledges the merits of arguments that are not his own. He pointed out things that I had felt but hadn't pinpointed the underlying reasons. This book is five years old but I still found it's themes valuable and pertinent as well as oddly calming.
