So I read the book, and while I disagreed with certain points I was expecting it to be a lot more inflammatory than it was. I haven't heard many psychologists go the Freudian route before, so that was interesting. If anything it felt like he was writing to persuade people from becoming a ball of hatred and anger commonly found in alt right circles. Perhaps his youtube lectures are more wild, but the book was mostly run-of-the-mill self help stuff.
His usage of biblical examples drove me crazy with boredom, but I understand why they were used. If I had a complaint that would be it.
