Me to me: "this sounds like the most boring piece of garbage ever written but it has great reviews so let's give it a try"

It is, in fact, the most boring piece of garbage. Worse actually because the garbage is also on fire.

my thoughts while reading:
wow this author has an impressive grasp on humanity!
i would hope he does considering he is a human
it’s surprisingly rare to understand ourselves

I literally had to put this book down for sections and rethink my life. Dang.

I read this in my early twenties as an earnest Christian, and found it very perceptive, but even as a post-Christian, it holds up surprisingly well. He goes into a lot of detail about the mechanics of religious belief, but there's lot of good stuff about how we deceive ourselves and sell ourselves short, and it's much better than the sort of self indulgent bollocks you get in a self help book. And the sort of bureaucratic take on how the devil does his work is very funny too. Excellent stuff.
