informative slow-paced

A few nuggets of good information but generally the advice was tone deaf and this made me distrust everything else in the book (for example the author says that trauma doesn't exist and it's just an excuse to be lazy). 

I like the idea of structuring the book as a conversation to challenge what was being said but this was executed poorly as the youth was portrayed like a petulant child and the philosopher was portrayed as superior to the youth and was constantly saying "you're wrong/your point of view is wrong" so none of the philosophies were properly challenged

Personally, I would not recommend this book.
