The Ten Types of Human: Who We Are and Who We Can Be

I don't doubt the sincerity and good intentions of the author but the book is just too verbose and overdramatized. The topics are heavy enough that they don't really need artificial drama added - in some parts the author describes details that he couldn't possibly know when telling a 2nd hand story.

As for the main idea of the book, the 10 types, I don't know, some presented research is quite interesting but altogether it doesn't really click into a comprehensive theory of human beings that the title implies.

On the other hand, it's optimistic dealing with very difficult subjects and quite well written using what seem like best practices for fiction: mixing stories, leaving cliff hangers at the ends of chapters... I must admit it was a quicker read than it seems from its 700+ pages and didn't really think about not finishing it. Would be a 4 for good intentions but it's a 3 for execution.
