Funny and Fascinating submitted by yugure on June 14, 2013, 1:22pm Fascinating look at how situations influence the way you interact with the world, the friends you keep, and the decisions you make. Situations even influence how you think about yourself. I highly recommend reading at least a couple chapters in this book. Sommers includes a lot of research that has been done on the subject, and it's kind of fun to read about the experiments that lead to the conclusions in the book. One chapter in particular that stuck out in my mind discussed the implications of a man who committed murder in his sleep. Is he legally responsible for it or is he not? I'll leave that to you to find out by checking out this book!
