With unequaled insight and brio, David Brooks, the New York Times columnist and bestselling author of Bobos in Paradise, has long explored and explained the way we live. Now, with the intellectual curiosity and emotional wisdom that make his columns among the most read in the nation, Brooks turns to the building blocks of human flourishing in a multilayered, profoundly illuminating work grounded in everyday life.
This is the story of how success happens. It is told through the lives of one composite American couple, Harold and Erica—how they grow, push forward, are pulled back, fail, and succeed. Distilling a vast array of information into these two vividly realized characters, Brooks illustrates a fundamental new understanding of human nature. A scientific revolution has occurred—we have learned more about the human brain in the last thirty years than we had in the previous three thousand. The unconscious mind, it turns out, is most of the mind—not a dark, vestigial place but a creative and enchanted one, where most of the brain's work gets done. This is the realm of emotions, intuitions, biases, longings, genetic predispositions, personality traits, and social norms: the realm where character is formed and where our most important life decisions are made. The natural habitat of The Social Animal.
Drawing on a wealth of current research from numerous disciplines, Brooks takes Harold and Erica from infancy to school; from the "odyssey years" that have come to define young adulthood to the high walls of poverty; from the nature of attachment, love, and commitment, to the nature of effective leadership. He reveals the deeply social aspect of our very minds and exposes the bias in modern culture that overemphasizes rationalism, individualism, and IQ. Along the way, he demolishes conventional definitions of success while looking toward a culture based on trust and humility.
The Social Animal is a moving and nuanced intellectual adventure, a story of achievement and a defense of progress. Impossible to put down, it is an essential book for our time, one that will have broad social impact and will change the way we see ourselves and the world.

评分写了个长书评。我把这书给骂了
评分一直喜欢Brooks的世界观和文笔,此书可以算是他专栏观点的集大成者。可以说此书和我的立意相似,都是在串流行科学以说自己的话,但Brooks的执行要强得多。美中不足的是这一立意本身的肤浅以及Brooks写虚构角色太过刻意。
评分好有趣!
长久以来,传统的教育和成长环境,让许多人都认为,理想化的理性思维以及卓尔不群的智力是人生成就的唯一原因和动力因素。 这一观点曾经长久以来深深植根于人们的脑海,甚至许多人在社会分工的工作之后,还一直信奉这样的信条,他们机械的认为行为只有对的和错的之分。“对的...
评分在华府一次新书发布会上,我第一次见到布鲁克斯。那时他已不再年轻,显出几分老相。可待他张口发言,那富有磁性的嗓音立刻吸引了全场听众——尤其是女性听众。作为《纽约时报》的专栏作家,布鲁克斯嘴皮子顺溜,笔头子更犀利,擅长在有限的篇幅内点明时局。 像有时...
