Review of "What's Our Problem" on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Well that was disappointing. The "self-help" part, promised in the title, takes less than 10 pages in the end of the book. Not that those aren't good ideas - but to get them, you have to wade through the previous part. And that's a half-book-long rant about how most things being wrong is the fault of wokeness and cancel culture.
The "societies" part is also, very clearly, a missed promise - this book does not look, at all, outside the USA borders. Not in terms of problems it looks at, not in terms of influences.
