Summary: “Only read if you’re willing to set aside all excuses and take an active role in living a fucking better life.” — Steve K.
That’ll do.
I don’t do self-helps. I just can’t. This one however did me instead (Pun totally intended).
Manson’s exhilarating sense of humor and sense of being makes you completely fall head over heels with this book. Moreover you actually manage to pick up (and implement!) a thing or two from this book, the consequences of which however is of no fault of this guy (He’s just trying to help you to figure out how to get your shit together).
The writing is fun, the way it is expressed is amusing, and yet it simultaneously manages to poke something inside that little head. Ideal example of a self help book that’s not dry!
The fact that the book is really conveniently small for a self help book is a real treat.
One thing it teaches you is to stop wasting your time and prioritise the fucks you give. Before time fucks you over (Ah time my old darkness).
The rest is left for you to figure!
