Tynamite

An Introduction to Rasa Routing Tynamite

Tynamite's first non-fiction book fits in the genres of sociology, social skills, philosophy, and functionalism but mostly about how he sees the world. He rejects the public opinion of the widely held and cherished belief that treating everyone as their own person as an isolated individual is wrong.

This book focuses more on how to analyse group behaviour with some advice about social skills thrown in. Key themes include

When interacting with people, how to triangulate different pieces of information and behaviour to make a conclusion. Scaling up a concept to see if the assertion or premise supported by it can remain intact. Picking out unintentional implicit signals to better read people.
