I'd like to own it in the future because there were parts that I think I'd find useful to read again and reflect on, as well as a long list of further resources to explore provided.

The book can be a bit slow in the first 3 sections, where it largely (and excessively) quotes other work. It makes up for it in the final section, which feels like the thesis of the book, and the author's novel contribution

kovak9's review against another edition
I don't really want to give this a star rating (I'm generally opposed to that for non fiction unless I find it egregiously awful or astounding, either side of an extreme spectrum). And I'm rather neutral on this book. I feel I convinced myself I'd find this book more revelatory than it actually was for me, and it probably would have been if I had read it sooner, years ago, closer to its initial release. But now, it almost feels too simple or surface level, not a fault of the author necessarily but I do think there are deeper texts out there that discuss similar topics, though this wouldn't be an awful place to start for most.
