The ultimate white bro advice book. Come to hear (repeatedly) how many women he has slept with, stay for him gleefully telling you about his stalker. There’s good advice here, but it’s buried under so much self-aggrandizing and “look how cool I am” stories from his life. Yuck.

not for me + problematic

i probably should have stopped listening after this casually transphobic gem:
“[...] the decision to finally dump that deadbeat boyfriend whom you caught wearing your pantyhose a few too many times.”
...but i am the worst combination of stubborn and optimistic.

This book is the embodiment of being stuck doing a group project in Psych 101 with the most annoying dudebro on the planet, mixed in with the experience of being near a middle schooler who just learned the word 'fuck'.

First dnf of the year!! It can’t get any worse than this.
Consumerism is bad and teaches us to prioritise the wrong things. Does anyone still need to hear this? It’s been said before by many a more competent writer and without the unbearable edgy dudebro writing style.
This book clearly isn’t written for me but there’s plenty of people who think this is the sh*t. (See what I did there? Used a curse word to absolutely no effect just like him)

Only read one chapter but from what I read and what I’ve heard this book is likely a minefield. Can’t tell if it’s trying to be transphobia or homophobia, these kind of jokes are often a mix, but the joke in question refers to (paraphrasing here) finally dumping your boyfriend who you caught wearing your panty-hoes too many times. There’s also a joke about Jennifer Anniston’s tits and again, I didn’t even get past the first chapter.
