Book Review – ‘The Dice Man’ by Luke Rhinehart – 4.5 Stars
Is the personality an evolutionary liability, like the shell of a tortoise? Does our hard emotional shell prevent us from growing? These are the questions of Luke Rhinehart, ‘The Dice Man’. This is Rhinehart’s autobiography, a psychotherapist detailing his experiences as he foregoes his personality, and, through the fall of the die, lets chance dictate all aspects of his life. It’s a very interesting study into the self and how much of that is defined by the routines that we live with and the standards that we conform to; and what would happen if we let our minority urges out.
