A pretty enjoyable book to read. Don't expect a sudden urge to manifest character development after reading it but for someone who is currently struggling with self-trust in a fast paced community with greedy standard, this book does help in widening my vision to change my value in life to be a lot more simple and take the first little step to start doing what I want instead of what the society want. On the other hand, the lifestyle, standard, and examples that were written in this book legit screams an American perspective which is not recommended for those who still think in conventional way.

I'm actually glad to have finished this book and not dropped it halfway through. The reviews I read were not quite positive, but for me personally, it's a book that I will keep with me. It gave me insight on some subjects and I don't regret reading nor buying this.

2023: Every time I reread this book I feel differently about it, to some extent. Parts of it are contradictory and I think the quality decreases as the book continues, but the first few chapters are useful. Choosing your pain, responsibility and fault being different things, accepting that being average is okay, etc. But once it gets past that point it seems like he just wants to brag about his previous sexual escapades. I guess he's trying to come across as honest, relatable, and vulnerable by writing about his past and where he felt he went wrong, but instead it just seems like he's screaming I'M FUCKABLE, I SWEAR at us all.
2022: Still an immensely useful book to me. I don't think Manson is always right, especially as it seems as if he's never experienced systemic discrimination, but I do think he has a lot of good points. Maybe one day I'll stop blocking out the bits I don't want to hear lol.

Has some informative bits and pieces. Really do not care for the writing style. Feels like the author tries too hard to show that he dgaf. Also some crude comments that should've been left out.
