        Five years after publication, but I'm still not too surprised. That book is soooo relevant and filled with inspiring truth. Thanks Steven.

        That's good. It is one of the top ten best nonfiction books I've read since 2000.

        Loved it. Any idea why it popped up on the bestseller list now? Organically, I hope.

        amazing book, my best read of 2016 and a legacy work. Please consider doing a "summary": not everyone has time, will to read 1000 pages.

        Better Angels marks a new Zeitgeist and will be discussed for generations. Original, well researched and readable. Congratulations Steven!

        Maybe if more people believe your thesis the thesis will become fact. Hope so.
