It's uncanny that my hold on this came through right in the midst of this aggression/murder by the United States against Iran, when I'm feeling like we are about to enter a world war. Oh and Australia is on fire and the impact of that is not even fathomable.

But boy did this book not give me any comfort or hope. The introduction uses an example of a Polish man who resisted the Nazis. Who was then killed by the Nazis. How was this the way to introduce the book!?

The tone was so dudebro--i guess I should have expected this from the title--and I didn't enjoy that. I gleaned some interesting info about the psychology of religion and such, but overall, meh.

I must say, Manson has a way with words. I usually approach self-help with a certain amount of skepticism, however - having read ‘The Subtle Art’, I’d say I’d held certain expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The logical explanations, the analogies, the examples all make everything quite easier to digest. It gave me the feeling of having gotten something out of reading and certain principles or assumptions that might help me in my arguments in the future.
Not a must-read, but something to be leisurely read (or listened to) if your mental space allows it.
