I admit it: this was a hate read. Not that I hated the book, but that I hate Freud and wanted to revel in it. This book gave me ample opportunity to do that. To my surprise, he likely never cheated on his wife. Just about everything else about him in this book makes him look very, very bad. It was a fun time, but that's probably not the best reason to read something. Learned what the ego, superego, and id are which was neat. Freud does not claim to have invented those, so that's another point in his favor.
