I was so encouraged at the beginning, it felt like the book really directly identified issues that resonated strongly with me, and I was excited to see what solutions he'd offer.
He didn't. At least not really.
Most chapters took the format of “Here's an issue, here's what a perfect ethicist and philosopher thought about it, and if you do too you can live a better life. But I tried it and it only sorta worked.” It felt very much like most chapters didn't really conclude, more like they were weird primers to aspects of philosophy.
Right at the end, in the postscript, there were 10 suggested concrete actions one could take that were actually half decent, but otherwise a very strange read.
