Sex At Dawn came along right at a time when I was questioning my own thoughts and feelings about relationships and love and it changed my life in innumerable ways for the better. Civilized To Death came along at a similar time, when I was questioning the values of this modern world, capitalism, individualism, society, etc. The things in this book didn't open my eyes to new possibilities, though, like Dawn did. That's through no fault of the author's, though. Instead, it was because through the changes I made after reading Dawn, I have spent years seeking out my own truths and ideas, and was already familiar with many of the concepts that the author presents.

Instead of presenting me with strange new ideas, this book gathered all the disparate ideas I've developed over the last decade or so and condensed them all down into reasoned, fun to read segments that aptly make all the arguments that I've been trying to make for years.

If you find yourself not quite fitting in to the modern world, not quite buying in, I recommend this book as a wonderful way to explore the idea that maybe it's not you who's wrong, it's this world we've built.
