      Greg Zeng
      2.0 out of 5 stars Imprisoned view from the traditional full time educators of centuries ago.
      Reviewed in Australia on 18 April 2021
      All multinational groups know that persuading "adult behaviors" is very different from this religious (non statistical) theory. Social engineering is vastly more complex, more mathematical, requiring many digitized & contradictory models of supposed reality.
      All humans have been victims of poor, crazy socialization. Complex PTSD with Diagnostic Statistical Manual disorders are normal. These DSM standards are continually evolving. The leaders in adult social engineering are the commercial & polital activists; not those entrenched the anti numeric of religious thinking.
      Eventually the cognitive science version of "learning" will show the failures of non statistical religion.

      Rather heavy book; I'm more into the "how-to" than the "why". Still, there are times when the theory underlying a topic is most useful. This book has filled in some the the holes in my understanding.
