pickAlthough the book is about science, it's not too scientific, with quite a few cases of anecdotal evidence, hunches and personal interpretations. Still, I loved reading it. Alda is very down to earth and never pretends to be an expert of the field. He tells stories about stuff he's curious about, his enthusiasm clearly shows, and it definitely pulled me in. It's a bit repetitive at times, but a great read nonetheless.

1. I often pick up books solely based on their covers without knowing what they're about. On the flip side though, a bad cover won't keep me from reading a book.
2. The colors and the artwork, but I guess minimalistic covers are some of my favorites. Headless bodies on covers annoy me though. If you're putting a person on the cover show a face.
3. Tagged. It's how I feel lately.
I had no idea Alan Alda is a communication guru. His fascination with the subject and its ties with acting really comes through in his audiobook.
I don't read a lot of nonfiction, so it actually wasn't too difficult to do a #Top10ofthedecade #nonfictionedition. Alan Alda is one of my favorite celebrities on the planet, & his latest book is phenomenal.
Act confident, even if you're not. No one can tell the difference.
