The Social Animal A Story of How Success Happens by David Brooks

Arguing that public policy failures result from a simplistic model of human behaviour, Brooks explains what brain research has revealed about the influence of the unconscious mind on our actions. He illustrates these ideas through a fictional story of two ordinary people who led lives fulfilled, not by intelligence, wealth or prestige but through the character and street smarts developed in the unconscious realm of emotions, intuitions and social norms.
