Firstly, I would like to thank the author for book. There are many good snippets of information strewn throughout.
I appreciate that the author is willing to reveal his personal struggles with the reader.

There are quite a few gripes I have with this book and the authors intention.
The author does way too much preaching and there is a lot of repetition.
The book doesn't flow very well. In the first 2 chapters the author gives the reader some good background information about himself. Quite candid and revealing, but after that the book takes an endless tailspin until the reader decides it is better to jump out because to stay would be far worse. I got up to page 150, then skimmed to the end, where it gets really weird.
The irony of calling out a bully coach in chapter 3 and then ranting from the pulpit in chapter 4 is not lost on this reader and many others I suspect.
Actually, irony and ranting abound in this book which I find a little sad as the author tells us he is a nice guy that understands people and cares about their feelings. Obviously not enough to prevent him from ranting at us.
The chapters at the end regarding ceremony belong in some ancient manuscript, they are out of place in today's world. For example a "hero ceremony".
The author speaks to the reader as though they were a very small dog from a foreign country. He also believes that we have no idea what liberty, courage, leadership etc. mean, which I found quite patronising.
The author has also read a lot of books and lets the reader know it. He believes he has grasped the essence of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, but doesn't take an idea like Plato's definition of learning, and expand on it. He simply repeats what he has read from his books.
