How to Think: A Survival Guide for a World at Odds by Alan Jacobs
4 stars
A book this dense with gathered knowledge could only work at a short length, which is what Alan Jacobs has done. This looks at how we make judgements in a world where people can act anonymously in 140 characters segments. Culling examples and knowledge from sources current and ancient, Jacobs comes up with a manual with great advice on how we can interact both personally and online with people who share different beliefs. This is especially important in our current political climate where two sides refuse to bend to the other in any form. I mostly agree with everything this book is trying to suggest, and found this a good primer for deeper books on decision-making. I received this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for an honest review.
