In Letters to a Young Contrarian, best-selling author and world-class provocateur Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of radicals, gadflies, mavericks, rebels, and angry young (wo)men. Exploring the entire range of "contrary positions" from noble dissident to gratuitous pain in the butt, Hitchens introduces the next generation to the minds and the misfits who inspire him --- invoking such mentors as Emile Zola, Rosa Parks, and George Orwell. As is his trademark, Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast to stagnant traditions across the ideological spectrum. There is no one writing today with a greater understanding of the importance of disagreement --- to personal integrity, to informed discussion, to true progress, to democracy itself.

3.5 鸡汤浓度不够 鸡血也不太够用 知识和见解有一些但很单薄且埋在整个过于散漫的结构里

读起来有些囫囵吞枣，还是摘抄出一些金句。以后可以多读一读，学学如何将自己的思想表达给普通听众。

Always look to the language. Question the obvious and the given. Keep your powder dry, your eyes open, and your mind skeptical.

不是很好读 但心灵鸡汤足了 感觉开头有点夸张抽象 有点人生导师的感觉
