Welcome to a sarcasm free zone, 4 Jan 2004
There's a lot of information here about how mammals react to each other. It's very clearly presented, and will pretty much jump off the page like a killer whale, straight into your life.Enthusiasm is a gift. Give this to yourself, and then find someone to pass it on to. Like all books on the joy of co-operation, it's going to be read with a certain amount of scepticism by people who were raised on the 'fun' of competition. Win-win looks boring until you've actually tried games where you all win together, or you all fall over in a giggling heap. Win-lose feels better than lose-win, and if those are the only two you've ever tried, then 'aloof' is the safe option if you feel you're about to start consorting with - well, what? A bunch of people who want you to win at the same time that they do? A bunch of people who don't want to 'beat' anyone, and therefore by your definition must be automatically losers? If you're addicted to sarcasm, you should still read this book, and then stop and ask yourself - when did clever get more important to me than kind? And why? And what effect is it having on the people close to me? Don't read this in spite of the hokiness. Wake up to the fact that 'hoky' is code for 'sarcasm-free' - and then read it because of it.
