Read 35 pages of self-congratulatory introduction, desire for hero worship and general misunderstandings only to arrive at page 1. This book might never end. On the other hand, a bunch of those “12 rules” are so innocuous (“make friends with people who want the best for you”, “compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not who someone else is today”) that the reader might not have to fear any originality

It’s rare to see a clinical psychologist harshly judge clients rather than try to understand them - rare, and not at all a good thing.

There’s a lot of unnecessary amateur theology, of dubious quality too, in this self-help book.

So this really is a hyped-up self-help book. Chapter 1 was 30 pages to describe the self-fulfilling prophecy of assertiveness, with a few Andrew Tate-y tropes mixed in.

Time to follow the maxim “know your enemy” and read this.
