I completely understand. I encourage people to read it themselves to make up their own mind, but if you’re limited on time to read, go for something more enjoyable. This one felt a bit like a chore towards the end. Thanks for stopping by!

Part of the problem to me was maybe it was thought out, he simply didn’t have any evidence to back up any of his claims. Overall, I agree completelyunamilagra wrote: ↑08 May 2021, 15:23 Well it certainly sounds like the author has some interesting ideas, but it sounds like a lot of them are not well thought out. It's too bad about the condescending tone as well. That's never a good way to bring someone around to your way of thinking. Thank you for your honest and informative review.

I thought so as well. He claims that his ADHD left him unable to connect to others well until he began to be medicated. Thanks for stopping byKavita Shah wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 01:36 Thank you for an honest review! The author had clearly many sour experience in today's world. A book to talk about changing back to being uncivilised . I just cannot see it happening now or later .

I’m glad you enjoyed the review. Thanks for commenting!Michaeljerry309 wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 08:52 The author made some good points, but you are right in stating that good editing does not make up for wild conclusions and an arrogant writing style. This is a well-written review. Thank you for the insight.
Well done.

Yes! Negative emotions aren’t new to modern civilization. That seems to be where the author is going wrong. Thanks so much for the commentDurgeshwari Dolas wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 12:48 Yes technology had changed us but that's what life is all about I guess, growth.! Because going back won't be changing anything, the human emotions whether it's greed, selfishness, hunger of power and status etc etc.,are not going to change. That's the point we can't go back! Its in our hand how we want atmosphere to be.
Thanks you for your honest review. It must have been tough to read where your thoughts doesn't match with what you're reading.
