For centuries, we’ve relied on polling or small-scale lab experiments to study human behavior. Today, a new approach is possible. As we live more of our lives online, researchers can finally observe us directly, in vast numbers, and without filters. Data scientists have become the new demographers.

Too little data, too much pedantry
Revisado: 08-04-24
This book is a moderately well-written explainer of very standard left-wing political and social opinion. I don’t criticize except that it billed itself as being based on data analysis. Beware, the title is a misnomer.

The question of exactly what sex differences exist and whether they have a biological foundation has been one of our culture's favorite enduring discussions. It should. After a baby is born, a parent's first concern is for its physical health. The next concern is its sex. Only in the most modern societies does sex not virtually guarantee the type of future life a new human being will have. Even in modern societies, one's sex usually plays a large role in the path a life follows.

A Tour de Force
Revisado: 10-11-22
I don’t know how this book evaded my radar for so long. The author brings data and anecdote alike to detail and illustrate the evolved psychology of men and women (and boys and girls). She makes such a clear and compelling case that, viewed through the lens she provides, the world seems to come more fully into focus. I now consider this book a “must read” for those interested in understanding humans and how they relate to each other and the world.

The father of three sons, a journalist, and a Brookings Institution scholar, Richard V. Reeves has spent twenty-five years worrying about boys both at home and work. His new book, Of Boys and Men, tackles the complex and urgent crisis of boyhood and manhood. Reeves looks at the structural challenges that face boys and men and offers fresh and innovative solutions that turn the page on the corrosive narrative that plagues this issue. Of Boys and Men argues that helping the other half of society does not mean giving up on the ideal of gender equality.

A Relatively Shallow But Reasonable Overview
Revisado: 10-08-22
This short book attempts to lay out the challenges facing young men (especially poor and working-class young men) in the West and then follow with policy recommendations. The arguments he makes are often short summaries of ideas presented more completely in other works. They are also often presented without reference to supporting data. That said, I see this book as introducing some of the best of moderate and conservative thinking to a liberal audience.
I will also note, as an addendum, that the author misunderstands some of the figures he describes (such as Jordan Petersen and the. “lobsters”) but this is understandable since he is on the outside looking in towards center/right thinkers.
