Gelett Burgess
Are you a ’Bromide’? Gelett Burgess, the master of witty observation, delves into the depths of personality and the pervasive nature of boredom in this satirical exploration of American social psychology. ’Are You A Bromide? The Sulphitic Theory Expounded’ offers a humorous yet insightful look at the 'Bromide,' a type of person characterized by predictability and a lack of originality.Through clever essays and examples of common 'Bromidioms,' Burgess dissects the phenomenon with sharp wit. This entertaining self-help guide, originally published in 1907, encourages self-reflection and offers a timeless critique of conformity. Readers will find Burgess’s insights remarkably relevant, providing a fresh perspective on the psychology of social interaction and the importance of individuality. Prepare to laugh, learn, and perhaps recognize a 'Bromide' or two in your own life.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
