This is a great, cosy book that I have returned to a few times when everything else in life is too much and I need something to just sit and enjoy.

I went into this book expecting more emotion and to delve into their grief. Instead it was a lot of ‘I couldn’t possibly do XYZ’ or ‘it’s definitely not that, is it?’ And that kind of thing repeated just doesn’t work for me unfortunately. Someone else may love it but not up there for me.

Surrounded by Idiots: The Four Types of Human Behavior and How to Effectively Communicate with Each in Business (and in Life) by Thomas Erikson
Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.

It was not what I had initially thought it was about. I thought it would be an informative book useful for my work, but it was a bland, reductive, possibly only neurotypical pigeon holing exercise.
