A Scary level of truth..

A book to shock you into doing something. Equality IS better for everyone.




This book is the result of 50 years of research. It talks about inequality and how it makes people cranky. How being equal can affect mental illness, obsetity and even how long one can live.
How countries like America fare worst in "happiness scales" then it Japan.

Basically I think anyone who believes that society is the result of what we do, rather than who we are, should check this out.

A great book


I have been trying to read a lot more this year, and get out of only reading webcomics and Sci fi/ fantasy novels (genius though they are!).
It is with pleasure that I will say: Read this book:


It is one of the thought provoking books I have read in a long time. Basically it is a world were Africians were the masters and Europeans were slaves. For obvious reasons very powerful and sad. Read it though- you will be missin out if you don't!
