This was an awesome read. The author delves really deep into how each interaction shapes us. It reminded me a lot of how there is such a difference in life tempo between metropolitan and rural areas. In a city you are constantly being bombarded with environmental changes because of the dense populations. Rural cities don't have that. I travel a lot for work and leisure and never took the time to think critically about everything that is happening around me. I get aggravated easily with people who don't know how to move through crowds and efficiently interact with their surroundings. I guess I have been too quick to judge many.
I especially had fun with the sections that talk about moving through crowds as an art form, because I'm reading Mieville's The City and the City right now. Which will make sense if you've read it, and not if not.I travel a lot for work and leisure and never took the time to think critically about everything that is happening around me.
