[Adina A · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Regarding personal development books, "Quirkology" set the bar pretty high for me and I wasn't expecting much from this book. Thankfully, my expectations were exceeded and I really enjoyed it. I can say that I regret the fact that the book has only 329 pages. Another big plus is that the author did an awesome research work and I was able to access with ease additional information when needed.
