5.0 out of 5 starsIgnore the negative reviews, just read it.
Reviewed in Canada on April 3, 2019
I almost didn't read this book because of some of the negative reviews; however, I am glad I did. I initially thought that this book was going to have the direction of "don't care about ANYTHING at all", but that's not the case. It mostly discusses defining proper values for yourself; what you should and shouldn't care about, and why. It was a short read, but still enjoyable, I may go through it again at some point. A lot of self help books seem to try to get you to look at things more positively, which for me seems to end up in ignoring the problem/negative feelings because I have buried it with a false sense of positivity I don't really believe. One major thing I liked that was discussed in this book versus some of the other "self help" books I read is that it talks about accepting some of your own flaws, some things can't be sugar coated. The approaches mentioned in this book seem better suited to actually dealing with your issues and coming up with new life values centered around your own happiness and well being. Well worth the read if you are looking to give your head a shake.

1.0 out of 5 starsHowever I wouldnt recommend it. Sorry
Reviewed in Canada on October 8, 2018
Sexist book. I read it. The whole thing. I noticed the only time woman were mentioned was in a sexually demeaning way. He even mentions his womans need for his approval when it comes to dressing herself.I didn't find it inspiring or helpful. It terms of packaging it did come on time. However I wouldnt recommend it. Sorry.

I enjoyed the book, but wasn’t blow away. I felt like it talked about many things we should already know about ourselves and how we should view life but is trying to remind us.

Don’t understand the hype of this book, it’s all over the place. I lost interest in it half way and never picked it up again.

Reviewed in Canada on March 1, 2018

While some of the concepts were interesting, this book reads like a watered down mash-up of other more serious philosophical work on existentialism. The book at times seemed as if it were just a long train of through put down into a book without any organization.

The writing quality is poor and the content is okey to some extent. It’s kind of aggression of multiple references and studies.
