“To the surprise of any visiting alien, humans blithely educate themselves as if the chief requirement of adulthood were the possession of a set of technical skills, with no acknowledgement of the fact that what mostly runs us into the sands is … our inability to master what we could call the emotional dimensions of our lives.”
An honest, condensed book. I think everyone should read it as early in their life as possible. I’m happy that a lot of the advice doesn’t seem to apply to me, but gives me more tools to understand others.
