The Rudest Book Ever by Shwetabh Gangwar
1.0
Kind of a letdown if you used to watch his amazing content YouTube
It's nice that the book is a compact light read but there is nothing new under the sun here. The books is written in a way that sounds more like internal monologuing. It would work better as an audiobook. It's difficult to speed read because it's written in a spoken format , akin to a tweet rather than regular basic grammatical literature that we have been accustomed to consume. Random words being bolded for no particular reason , not even contextual emphasis , is super distracting and even after perusing the book, none of the content really sticks with you or makes any sort of impact. It could have been written in a much better format to reach a vast audience in a more effective way but the gimmick of being called the rudest book ever might just give you the misconception that it is going to awaken you from your comfort zone in a rude tough love sort of way. Rather is is just the incessant use of then work fuck as an adverb, adjective and other pos tags that makes you inadvertently filter it in your mind as inconsequential drivel and distracts you from some decent points. It did the exact opposite of an impact or create a lasting impression for the authors words to stay with you. Maybe I'm not the right audience but I can't imagine anyone quoting anything from this to themselves when they recognize a situation where it might help them. Some of the points should have just been points instead of paragraph. If you are expecting any nuggets of wisdom that you might take away from this book like something off a book from the self help section, then this is even more disappointing because his videos are that much effective and helpful.
