Mr. Katz really delves into sensitive issues in this book. His philosophical approach gives the book a scholarly feel. Good job on the review.

The topic of human's inhumanity is very interesting. We usually tend to put a blame for our problems on someone else, but it is we who are responsible for most of the things happening to us. Thanks for the review.

Ohmyholykomolies!
A Holocaust survivor, Mr. Katz thought about environments that have allowed or fostered cruelty and attempted to apply nearly-scientific constructs to them in order to explore and explain how it is that people can be so callous and cruel. The result was his non-fiction book, We Live in Social Space.
Me, being me, a somewhat clinical, cynical, hyper-critical (Not in the mean, degrading way, but in the "take things apart and see how they work" sort of way) I really ENJOY when someone can take a non-mathematical concept (culture) and apply organized, reproducible processes for understanding the concepts. A "this is this" and "that is that" roadmap! I hope this is everything I hope it to be! :)

A very fascinating book that helped me to understand how people change from the confident and successful man to a fragile and weak one.

This is a good book in an increasingly individualistic but informative age. I think it may give valuable insights on this trend and help highlight the social problem and possible solutions.
