The book talks about the lives of Americans and gives a comparison about the lives of Americans between the past in the fifties and sixties.
A man who lived through that period and the present and the amazing technological progress it has achieved in an attempt to provide similarities.
The difference between them is the past with its beautiful values ​​that we have begun to miss and the great transformation that America has witnessed in our present time.
And it changed our daily lifestyle, whether for better or for worse, and I can also say that other countries have the same vision, as the entire world has changed.
And it's changing, and it's not just America. A very wonderful book that I recommend to everyone to read.

I am not an American, but I can certainly relate: the same things are happening globally. The book is free, so I will look into Dr Joe's insights. I think we had many similar experiences. We also had a party line when I was young.

Amazing review. In this book, Joe shares how America has evolved through years from 1950's to present. He mentions how private conversations were difficult then, and now how where everything is available to watch movies with adult content and crime themes. He discussed every change in the aspects of life.
