This book is so man. (I mean that as an insult)
Forced myself to finished it. Took me months to read. Author is lowkey sexist and full of himself. The amount of times he mentions all the women he’s had sex with is absurd. Also some weird transphobic (man in tights) and homophobic comments (dreaming about your friend and you in a hot tub with the comment of that being weird)
I can understand how men would eat this shit up and not realise the disappointment this book is. It is also wayyyy too long. Also it is evident the author gives very many fucks about appealing to his heavily male audience.
It’s telling you a lot of things you already know with a couple nice phrases here and there.

If you’re easily offended by anything, I think you should read a different book. This read is bold, direct and uses language most people nowadays can’t handle. If you have a bit of distance to yourself and are open minded enough to read something that you might find uncomfortable, you’ll find an excellent book that makes you think and lets you see a different perspective on some things.
I do not agree with everything that’s written in this book. There are certain things I really was surprised by. Still, it’s probably one of the best books I’ve ever read in this category and I wish I’ve read it earlier in my life.

The idea wasnt too Bad but He is just explaining the same thing over and over again. You could literally write the same thing in 1 Page and It would Contain the exact same Information. Besides, the author makes sexist comments anywhere possible and also Sees himself as the greatest man on earth. This book is honestly just garbage

A pretty enjoyable book to read. Don't expect a sudden urge to manifest character development after reading it but for someone who is currently struggling with self-trust in a fast paced community with greedy standard, this book does help in widening my vision to change my value in life to be a lot more simple and take the first little step to start doing what I want instead of what the society want. On the other hand, the lifestyle, standard, and examples that were written in this book legit screams an American perspective which is not recommended for those who still think in conventional way.

Useful breakdown of complex thoughts, but the weird misogyny when talking about women came out of left field and alienated me, a woman, from feeling like this book was meant for me. The crass language was expected given the title, but wasn’t up my alley.

I'm honestly considering this to be my first book with ZERO stars because what a load of bullshit. Don't waste your money. Go find something more meaningful or that you know you'll enjoy. Do not give a f*ck about this book.

This book is the embodiment of being stuck doing a group project in Psych 101 with the most annoying dudebro on the planet, mixed in with the experience of being near a middle schooler who just learned the word 'fuck'.

It's been a couple of years, but all I remember now is that I really disliked the author. He seemed kind of like a sexist, self-centered jerk. I gave it a 2/5 on GR when I read it but suspect I would like it even less if I read it now.
