Negative Positive
Title: A poorly written self promoting rant...
Review: This book is an self-indulgent rant. It's telling that it was published by the Human Givens publishing house (i.e. presumably the authors self financing) because no decent editor would accept such rot. The 'Human Givens' concept is repeatedly bandied about, but the whole concept is really a mishmash of psychological concepts that fits the authors pet views. This book has nothing to add to knowledge. It references the absurd, and leaves giant statements hanging.... like 'givens'. Avoid this book, unless you need source material about how not to write about something. Truly dreadful stuff.....
