The Dane Cook of self-help books, as if someone's Philosophy 101 notes gained sentience during a frat party. I am genuinely shocked that Manson has not been a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast. The bones of this book aren't inherently bad. There are little nuggets of wisdom inside. But those nuggets are packed in such a self-absorbed, sarcastic, and pandering case that it is exhausting waiting for the smart stuff. Two stars because those nuggets are there, somewhere and clearly this book is not for me. There are hundreds of books that can communicate the same ideas in more hopeful, encouraging, and insightful language. Manson isn't it. DNF.
