I went into this with no expectations. I was not a fan of the didactic writing style and what wasn't the author's original writing was interspersed with a lot of quotes, which felt like despite saying a lot of words, there wasn't much original to be said. I will however give credit to the diversity of the sources quoted. What's presented to be revelatory were opinions I've come across before and presented in better ways. It took me a very long time to get through and the end had a script that made it much longer than it needed to be.

One of the most self-indulgent, pompous books I have ever read. The book reminded me of countless business dinners where I, as a young woman would be forced to sit next to a wealthy, self-absorbed, self-made millionaire who spent the whole night discussing himself and his grand ideas to the dinner table at large. It didn’t matter if anyone at the table was willing to listen or not, what mattered that a GREAT MAN WAS SPEAKING.

This started off fine and has a few interesting points. Unfortunately it became a bit silly and forced towards the end. Not this author's best work.
2 and a half stars.

I didn't enjoy this and DNF. There were some interesting points, but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped.
