The author has done a commendable job in synthesizing much of the current day wisdom that exists with respect to how our individual behavior is influenced by what we perceive as the attitudes and priorities of the various groups to which we belong, and there is significant and intelligent discussion of how we are influenced in our thinking by what we experience via social media. Of particular value is the discussion of how important, and challenging, it is to reconcile our simultaneous predisposition to serve our individuality while nourishing our need for community.
My reservation stems from the style in which all this is communicated ... it felt to me as if I was reading a diary chok full of chatty, personal, and often irrelevant details (eg - "we enjoyed some delicious coffee together" == "I was reminded of the time I went hiking"), much of which seemed to occupy almost as much page time as the insights into the topic at hand. Some readers might find such a personal, chatty, "dishy" style appealing and a valuable asset in making the material more approachable. I was not so charmed.
