It has too many times the f word in it.aaronmarkey's review against another edition
It's quite good, much better than I'd expect from books of this genre. It's a really simple message of self-responsibility, respect, and managing the aspects of life you care about. Frankly, it's a really great, eye-opening book for a specific audience. I won't say anything in it is novel. But it does take aspects of various ancient philosophy and makes it approachable for a modern audience. A quick read and highly impactful in its messaging.
Recommend, even for people skeptical of self-help stuff. The author is/was(?) a self-help PUA type of person, so the content is suburban white dude coded -- very much hit or miss for readers.

Forced myself to finished it. Took me months to read. Author is lowkey sexist and full of himself. The amount of times he mentions all the women he’s had sex with is absurd. Also some weird transphobic (man in tights) and homophobic comments (dreaming about your friend and you in a hot tub with the comment of that being weird)
I can understand how men would eat this shit up and not realise the disappointment this book is. It is also wayyyy too long. Also it is evident the author gives very many fucks about appealing to his heavily male audience.
It’s telling you a lot of things you already know with a couple nice phrases here and there.

I do not agree with everything that’s written in this book. There are certain things I really was surprised by. Still, it’s probably one of the best books I’ve ever read in this category and I wish I’ve read it earlier in my life.

Talks about a lot of uncomfortable or unfortunate situations as examples for ways to change life. They are brief for the most part but are covered and may be unsuitable for some peoplemiratrix's review against another edition
