An Outsider's Guide to Humans by Camilla Pang

informative fast-paced

Do you identify as “someone who had to learn people and human behaviors as a foreign language”?  When you feel love or empathy or trust, do you experience it as others do, and how could you tell either way?  If these questions resonate, check out An Outsider’s Guide to Humans by bioinformatics PhD and postdoctoral scientist Camilla Pang.  Think of it as an instruction manual for those who struggle with the code implicit in the social contract, and come to recognize that even “those who claim to be fluent have gaps in their vocabulary and understanding, too.”
