Yuhan
An interesting read, and certainly widely recommended! I was suprised to find that most of the ideas in this book were not super revolutionary - though a friend pointed out that this book was published some time ago, and the ideas were very new back then.
It's certianly a very motivating read. Even if certain points are repeated many times, and it can feel a tiny condescending at times, it makes convincing points, and importantly, actually gives a sense of optimism that things can actually be changed if you make the right changes. No book is without its imperfections, but I think if we could push the narritive of this book, rather than the shaming and blaming we are used in media, the world would be a much better place.

Tell me you've never interacted with a woman without telling me you've never interacted with a woman. (I'm sorry some of the quotes in this reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)
Would not recommend reading in public places, incredibly paranoia inducing that someone might look over your shoulder, read the contents on the page and take you for a horrible human LMAO
Maybe it's the point and I'm missing the point?? But I don't think one could make characters more realistic than those in this book. Nice proof to myself that I can finish just about anything. Remind me again why this is famous?

Picked this up as a recommendation from 80,000 hours. Interesting read philosphilcally and theoretically, and for sure quite enlightening. It does get a bit soppy at points, but maybe people need big reasons to save the world y'know lol. (Personally, I don't share some of the sentiments, but it's always nice to read about someone so enthusiastic about something!)
Mostly interesting but a bit of a slog at some points. Valuable read for those into effective alturism though!
