Worth reading, but not as good as I was lead to believe
I had seen this book touted as a great read by several very successful people, like Ray Dalio and Jim Rohn, et al. After reading it, I find myself wondering what the hype is about this book. A very basic introduction to human history and psychology, but with no real purchase. Basically this book gives you a few snippets of history and the author applies it to different facets of human behavior. If you have never studied history or human psychology, this will be a great intro for you, in a very easily readable format... but if you're looking for the Cliff Notes version of human interaction throughout history, you will be sadly disappointed. Overall this is not a bad book, but it will never be on my list of recommended reads.
