There was, for me at least, a before and an after, a world in which I hadn’t read it, and one in which I had. Its scope is like that of a Russian novel, but it is the rigorous way in which Solomon applies his scientific research to the human stories he tells that makes this book a masterpiece.

É uma mensagem bastante simples e óbvia, mas também profunda, e nos confronta às opiniões e às ideias pré-concebidas que carregamos sem nos darmos conta.
