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.
David Brooks is an op-ed columnist for The New York Times. He has been a senior editor at The Weekly Standard and a contributing editor at Newsweek and The Atlantic Monthly, and he is a weekly commentator on PBS NewsHour. He is the author of the bestseller Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There and On Paradise Drive: How We Live Now (And Always Have) in the Future Tense.
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。

评分撇开所有对功利性目的追求,人们学习社会学的最初动力是什么呢? 了解自己,说得更大一点,了解人类。 人类是这么奇怪复杂的生物,自己研究自己,出了一波又一波的理论,一波一波推翻,还是难以解释自己的行为。很少有人能真正分析清楚童年经历对自己的影响,很多时候我们以为...

评分大卫·布鲁克斯在《社会动物》中塑造了一个由埃丽卡和哈罗德构成的美国中产阶级家庭,以及一个由美国中产阶级家庭为生活参照的美国社会,更重要的是他塑造了一种以智性自恃的社会性动物,他们成为人类社会的全部成员。这样的人类成员、这样的家庭和这样的社会不仅仅是被大...
