Jason Najum starts off his book by pointing out that he is nobody famous and there is no particular reason for you to care about what he has to say.  Not exactly the sale-laden call-to-action verbiage that fills the sea of Kindle contents.  But that is the point.The first half of the book (which one could say goes on about a third longer than it should) reads in a fast paced, confined, narrative - poetic, and touches just a little on greasy self-loathing but stays aware the reader isn't looking to feel sorry for anyone.  It's a slice of life, the readers slice of life, and his experiences are universal and well described.The second half goes into an interesting analysis of the last half century and its relationship to today, defining the "something" missing in many peoples lives.  The main point made is that in order to change culture we must change ourselves.  Well said.
