Only touched on the intro so far but he basically picked up from (and expanded upon) Maslow's Hierarchy and where it was when Maslow passed away. The gist I have so far is that Maslow's Hierarchy says that we should achieve self actualization, which some critics saw it as a selfish motivator to the behest of society... however, Maslow started to write about how Self-Actualization leads to a more fulfilled person who has all that they need in life so then strives to better their community :jbhmm:

The author takes those notes and builds upon them in this book

you have a review for the book?

Nah, fell by the wayside unfortunately while I've been reading this:

Hail Mary was entertaining but felt more like a movie than a book to me. Some dialogue from the main protagonist was annoying but apparently author was doing it on purpose.

My favorite Murakami book. His other books get more hype but to me this one has all of his usual surreal stuff but with actual direction and is somewhat coherent.
