This is a provocative book on human nature by an author who has the mind-set of a philosopher, sociologist, economist and humorist all rolled into one, a mind-set much like rubber, i.e., very flexible in thought and capable of covering a wide range of subjects. He gingerly philosophizes his way through the book using the method of ridicule to comment on a wide range of topics ranging from relationships to how to eradicate world poverty. There will be much to tickle the funny bone. As a number of the topics touched on have intellectual appeal, there will be intellectual stimulation as well. The book thus serves the dual purpose of entertainment and personal development.
