I resented reading this book due to its notoriety and agressive marketing across both online and offline. This wasn't worth it.
It's very surprising that's not one of Tim Ferriss' books, looks like the author has a background similar to Tim's and was inspired by him as well. However, this book gives answers and most Tim's books left me with more questions than before I started to read them. I wish I read this book in my early 20s, but having learned most of its content the hard way makes me appreciate this book even more as it resonates a lot with my life experience.
If I condense the whole book in a bullet list, that'd be
- Life is futile, give up trying to be exceptional
- If you need to get the shit done, instead of trying to motivate yourself JFDI!
- Suffering is inevitable, embrace it
- Have realistic goals and values
- You can be wrong, keep questioning yourself
- Embrace rejection: it's OK to say no and receive the same is return
My score is 5/5.
