As a Hillary voter, a New York Times reporter, and frequent attendee at her local gay bars, Nellie Bowles fit right in with her San Francisco neighbors and friends—until she started questioning whether the progressive movement she knew and loved was actually helping people. When her colleagues suggested that asking such questions meant she was “on the wrong side of history,” Bowles did what any reporter worth her salt would do: she started investigating for herself. The answers she found were stranger—and funnier—than she expected.

I’m not Crazy
Revisado: 07-17-24
I think what’s difficult in today’s political climate is that you can see validity in everyone’s arguments but everyone demands you pick a side.
I feel like this book helped me feel like I’m not crazy it’s also refreshing to read a book that only asks “what’s too far?” But not “which side are you on?”
Also Nellie is just super funny and I really felt like I got to know her in this book. Thank you!

Have you ever noticed that what is exciting on Monday tends to become boring on Friday? Even passionate relationships, stimulating jobs, and breathtaking works of art lose their sparkle after a while. As easy as it is to stop noticing what is most wonderful in our lives, it’s also possible to stop noticing what is terrible. People get used to dirty air. They become unconcerned by their own misconduct, blind to inequality, and are more liable to believe misinformation than ever before.

Great beginning, didn’t quite stick the landing
Revisado: 03-27-24
Great book until I got to the last few chapters. While I understood the associations and why someone would want to go to society wide problems, it felt that the definition of habituation was so large by the end it felt the term/phenomenon lost its meaning.
I would have loved if they stuck to individuals and their experiences (I think people who gain disabilities later in life would have been an amazing case study), the society wide problems felt too complicated to boil down to a thesis of habituation.
But didn’t regret the buy, the beginning chapters were invaluable!

As New York City's transportation commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan managed the seemingly impossible and transformed the streets of one of the world's greatest, toughest cities into dynamic spaces safe for pedestrians and bikers. Her approach was dramatic and effective: Simply painting a part of the street to make it into a plaza or bus lane not only made the street safer, but it also lessened congestion and increased foot traffic, which improved the bottom line of businesses.

Is road design interesting now?
Revisado: 05-19-23
it's crazy to think that I bought a book on streets, roads, and bike paths and found that it was the most interesting book in human behavior I've read this year. I highly recommend this to anybody who is interested in how cities are made and designed and anybody who is interested in being a little nerdy about traffic.
