benkaboo 's review for:
The Ten Types of Human
by Dexter Dias
Summary:
A book about some pretty messed up things that happen in the world and trying to bring a lense of neuroscience and perspective to help us understand these things.
Things I liked:
Clear assumptions and hypothesis outlined at the start
Things I thought could have been improved
Argument wandered towards the middle/end of the book and became more about the author's experience and finishing off the stories/humanitarian-focus than the neuro-science focus that the author began with. I think this could have been called out in the early chapters of the book.
The 10 archetypes I think are a bit uneven with early ones like the 'kinsman' kind of explain a lot more than others. 10 seems a fairly arbitrary number and was probably chosen by marketers vs well thought out rationale.
Highlight:
I think the stories about the Kid being sold into slavery The whole things is full of stories that really get you thinking.
