"Authoritative, impressively learned, and vast in scope."- Newsweek "As in [ Bobos in Paradise ] he shows genius in sketching archetypes and coining phrases. . . .

Brooks's considerable achievement comes in his ability to elevate the unseen aspects of private experience into a vigorous and challenging conversation about what we all share."- San Francisco Chronicle From the Hardcover edition., PRAISE FOR The Social Animal : "Through the lens of a hypothetical couple and their offspring, New York Times columnist Brooks cleverly explores the realms of the psyche and the unconscious mind....the narrative is compelling as Brooks effectively interweaves history, science, statistics and instinctual behavioral patterns into a fictional treatment that reiterates his belief in 'the way unconscious affections and aversions shape daily life.' An uncommonly brilliant blend of sociology, intellect and allegory." --- Kirkus , Starred Review “David Brooks has written an absolutely fascinating book about how we form our emotions and character. Standing at the intersection of brain science and sociology, and writing with the wry wit of a James Thurber, he explores the unconscious mind and how it shapes the way we eat, love, live, vacation, and relate to other people. In The Social Animal, he makes the recent revolution in neuroscience understandable, and he applies it to those things we have the most trouble knowing how to teach: What is the best way to build true relationships? How do we instill imaginative thinking? How do we develop our moral intuitions and wisdom and character? Brooks has always been a keen observer of the way we live. Now he takes us one layer down, to why we live that way.�-Walter Isaacson, CEO of the Aspen Institute and the author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life and Einstein: His Life and Universe From the Hardcover edition., PRAISE FOR DAVID BROOKS On Paradise Drive "Delectable . . . Brooks's style is so easygoing and his observations so wicked and astute . . . that you won't be able to stop reading. Or laughing."- Entertainment Weekly "Brooks is a clever and insightful inspector of the American scene."- The Wall Street Journal "Brooks is a master satirist."- The New York Observer Bobos in Paradise "A tartly amusing, all too accurate guide to the new establishment."- The New York Times "Perceptive and amusing . . . [Brooks] has identified the salient characteristics of this new elite, and he describes them with accuracy and wit."- The Washington Post From the Hardcover edition., PRAISE FOR The Social Animal : "Through the lens of a hypothetical couple and their offspring, New York Times columnist Brooks cleverly explores the realms of the psyche and the unconscious mind....the narrative is compelling as Brooks effectively interweaves history, science, statistics and instinctual behavioral patterns into a fictional treatment that reiterates his belief in 'the way unconscious affections and aversions shape daily life.'

Synopsis
From the influential and hugely popular "New York Times" columnist and bestselling author of "Bobos in Paradise" comes a landmark exploration of how human beings and communities succeed., With unequaled insight and brio, David Brooks, the New York Times columnist and bestselling author of Bobos in Paradise, has long explored and explained the way we live. Now, with the intellectual curiosity and emotional wisdom that make his columns among the most read in the nation, Brooks turns to the building blocks of human flourishing in a multilayered, profoundly illuminating work grounded in everyday life. This is the story of how success happens. It is told through the lives of one composite American couple, Harold and Erica--how they grow, push forward, are pulled back, fail, and succeed. Distilling a vast array of information into these two vividly realized characters, Brooks illustrates a fundamental new understanding of human nature. A scientific revolution has occurred--we have learned more about the human brain in the last thirty years than we had in the previous three thousand. The unconscious mind, it turns out, is most of the mind--not a dark, vestigial place but a creative and enchanted one, where most of the brain's work gets done. This is the realm of emotions, intuitions, biases, longings, genetic predispositions, personality traits, and social norms: the realm where character is formed and where our most important life decisions are made. The natural habitat of The Social Animal. Drawing on a wealth of current research from numerous disciplines, Brooks takes Harold and Erica from infancy to school; from the "odyssey years" that have come to define young adulthood to the high walls of poverty; from the nature of attachment, love, and commitment, to the nature of effective leadership. He reveals the deeply social aspect of our very minds and exposes the bias in modern culture that overemphasizes rationalism, individualism, and IQ. Along the way, he demolishes conventional definitions of success while looking toward a culture based on trust and humility. The Social Animal is a moving and nuanced intellectual adventure, a story of achievement and a defense of progress. Impossible to put down, it is an essential book for our time, one that will have broad social impact and will change the way we see ourselves and the world.
