As far as I can tell from reviews on this site, I’m the only adolescent on StoryGraph that’s read this. (I’m 17) Does this mean you should value my opinion more? I don’t know, but according to the book, if you’re my age you will, and if you’re an adult, you’ll discredit me (this review isn’t that cohesive, so I probably can’t fault you)

This was your classic informative book, and I found it to be quite enjoyable.  The author doesn’t harbor a bias against adolescents, which was quite refreshing, as pathology of adolescents and younger children is high among adults, even as they still exhibit behaviors they find repulsive in younger populations, albeit in smaller quantities.  

One of the central themes in this book is that adolescents are more prone to social convincing.  When paired with books like Humankind or selection of the friendliest, which are about humanity’s reliance on social interaction, it invokes thought about the role of adolescence in human success (I’m referring to our prolific-ness and organization (cities)), which I can’t find much research on.
