The majority of this book is a series of somewhat interesting pop psych anecdotes, with almost no connection to an overall theme. I'm not sure how the actual book was written, but the audiobook is produced like a bad podcast, full of hints of what's coming up as though it was a series or something, which was frustrating and off-putting.

There was one section in the middle about the Brock Turner case that really turned me off where he was just short of victim blaming. It really changed how I looked at the rest of the book, and I can't recommend it.
