For the majority I listened to the audiobook version of it. It definitely took me a while to get into it, the beginning was really confusing and cringy with all the unnecessary swearing.
Ideas presented are solid, but it's essentially just repacked stoicism, told in a ‘trendy' way.
Good introduction for someone new into it, but I recommend going straight to the source as soon as possible (Aurelius, Epictetus, Seneca), starting with Ryan Holiday as a more obvious introduction to ideas of stoicism.
Still a fun listen, although I barely remember anything from it, the first half draws a total blank for me.
Manson is good and has a cool blog.
