its not good...for me at least

I feel like this should be called, “The Art of Manipulative Sadism” or perhaps, “Man’s Misinterpretation of How Women Try to Cope with Patriarchal Power” or maybe, “The Art of Creating Dysfunctional Immature Infatuation and Using It for Your Gain.” Useful information in that it helps you recognize when you are being played.

Creepy - superficial- hard to believe the high marks awarded to this book.

This book is essentially terrible. It promotes negative manipulation, and relies too heavily on very basic Freudian theory. It encourages ingenuous behaviour with the intention of essentially tricking someone into falling in love with an ideal - and entirely fictional - version of yourself. And to be honest, anything that refers to a potential mate or lover as a "victim" just makes me feel icky.

Even if you're okay with all of this, the book is full of contradictions that confuse the messages. I can't imagine that it would be helpful to anyone.

I got through the introduction and a few minutes of chapter one. My assumption so far is that this book was likely written in such a way that may rage-bait certain readers and, in doing so, will keep them engaged. I’m sure there are nuggets of truth in here, even though I hate how they’re packaged. Am I intrigued enough to listen to 22 hours of it? Absolutely not.
