This book was a fascinating dive into the reasons we as individuals have the political leanings that we do. I feel the author did a fantastic job of not beating down one side or the other overwhelmingly (though if there is a lean it is to the left). The tone of the book is very nonpartisan and scientific, which is what I expected after seeing many lectures by him on YouTube. His writing style is interesting and holds the attention well. Every so often he slips in some wry humor, which helps.
But you're probably reading this book to see why your side or some other side thinks the way they do. And this book really delivers. The concepts are clearly illustrated (textually) and I really don't know how this book could be any better.
