Nichols provides bleak but thought-provoking analysis.
... this short, conversational book feels like a well-intentioned lecture from Dad to stand up straight, tuck in your shirt, and get a job for Chrissake...By the end, I felt nothing but despair.that’s why the book is so distressing. It isn’t that Nichols, via his good humor and 'moral hectoring,' doesn’t make a persuasive case for the importance of re-embracing our better angels. It’s that our better angels have already decided they’d rather just watch Netflix and chill. And then subtweet us.
... a searing critique.
