Managed through 5 out of 12 rules before I abandoned it. Mostly psychological mumbo jumbo, not even as evil as many detractors present him.

Definitely hasn't turned me conservative - what I was secretly afraid of, the author being described as this amazing debater who “destroys” everyone in public debates.

Some stuff is even uncontroversial and common sense, like chapter 5 about parenting (as much as a non-parent can judge).

But there is definitely some stuff written to be quotable by incels and the alt-right, probably not accidentally.
