Has some valid points but overall I didn't love his attitude. Heavy repetition throughout and a lot of repeating his credentials as though he's worried readers won't trust him. As the author says, this is a very personal book about someone with severe childhood trauma that led him to be what some might call a loser. Then his life learnings are presented as a self-help book using “real clients” as examples to serve the points. Presents a philosophy on life that is better than being a “nice guy” but still really validation seeking. Targeted at a certain type of person, someone like Ed Norton in fight club, with that dreary outlook on a lonely life. The redeeming quality of this book is how honest it is on a very personal topic that most people spend their lives shying away from analyzing.
