This book suits one audience and it’s the same as the person who wrote it - written by a straight white cis-man for other straight white cis-men. As a poc-woman this book lacks intersectionality and screams blind privilege that is just completely unrelatable and overlooks a lot of complexities and hurdles people with less privilege face. Also, there was some distasteful underlying tones of homophobia and misogyny that really were the final pieces that had me putting this book down to never pick it up again. The drawn out over explained ranting made it really hard to get to the point. I often found myself skipping forward to try and find the point. And even then, none of the points were mind blowing. Lots of common sense insights that anyone who has done therapy would know is basic self-reflection 101. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because i can appreciate how this can be an effective first step for some who are very new to “self-help”.
