Book Reviews of The Age of Unreason
Book Review: Definitely not for a reader who can reason
Summary: 1 Stars
You will like this book only if you are a non-analytical thinker. It's not really a book that educates with facts, data, arguments, or insights. It's more of a book where the author says "Here are some bits of facts and myths that I have run across in my readings and here are some unsupported, unoriginal thoughts I have that may be related (or not) to what I just talked about."If you are a well educated, thoughtful, reasonably creative person who has some insight into your life, you will read this book and say, "everything in this book is obvious." If you are a person who has difficulty thinking things through, you probably would find this of value.
I know MOST people seem to find this book of some value. I am probably in the minority. If you are trying to decide whether to buy this book, you might ask this question: when you read the book, "7 habits of highly effective people," did you think
A: I know everything in this book already and I can't believe there is anyone out there who doesn't
or
B: Wow this is a great book and I learned a lot from this book.
If you answered A, then you will find this book to be a waste of money.
