Here are some chapter by chapter links relating to my book Urban Tribes. In the book I try to write in the style of the best conversations I’ve had with my smartest friends. As I say in the book:
“In trying to chart the landscape of our early adulthood, we drew no sharp distinction between highbrow and lowbrow knowledge. We stitched together our life philosophies from song lyrics, sacred texts, our college social psychology classes, our parents, our bosses and coworkers, The Simpsons, snippets of wisdom forwarded to us in e-mails, and things we overheard on the bus. For us, the answer to the question How do you live a good life? was not something handed down from on high. We were making up answers — riffing them — as we went along.”
The links, chapter by chapter, should prove this point.
