This is a great book on the fallacies of our capitalistic society.

However, the author tends to see way too many jobs as bullshit.
For example, yes, middle management can be bullshit. But it's either because the company's organization is bad, or the person is at the wrong place. Both can be fixed, and middle managers who like what they do have a great impact around them.

The content of this book is quite interesting. But it many places, it's quite poorly written, and the author seems to have a quite high ego of himself (while talking about humility).

This a great book, extremely well written and entertaining.
The pre-presidential part could really make one want to go into politics.
The rest is all about how everything is only compromise, and the limits of democracy.

The only negative thing it shows is how even someone like Obama sees America as conducting the entire world, which shows quite a lack of humility.

C'est mignon, mais très décousu.
Et écrit sur un ton que je trouve très pédant (mais je suis peut-être vieux).

This is an interesting, but very unequal book. Each chapter being written by different authors, some are very well written and interesting, while other aren't really good.

This is an excellent book. Very well written and funny. But also a great resource for safety engineering, and an excellent lesson at just enjoying the daily joyfulness of life.
