This isn't a self-help book, although in many areas it seems the author is trying to school you in the ways of life. The candor is very unorthodox and highly sarcastic in points. If you aren't use to that type of style, this won't be your cup of tea.This is the type of book that shakes things up a bit. More than a bit--a whole lot!Even in moments when the author shucks and jives, quite a few of his viewpoints are relevant in the current world:1. Educated people unable to get entry level jobs (overqualified)--one of my favorite sections of the write2. Different types of drivers3. Different types of people4. The bleak landscape of current high school and college graduates5. The hype of Hollywood6. Religion (hypocrisy)There's so much more but those are the major ones that stuck out.I floated between moments of shock, thinking "I can't believe he said that" and holding my sides in laughter. This book was unashamed in delivery and candor, causing my brain and my funny bone maximum stimulation.The conversational type air was refreshing and the dictionary towards the end for some of the funny jargon used was very helpful.The only drawback is that the author didn't make this a series of sorts, since so many topics were covered in one setting.For its out the box style and many gems of truthful reflection, this will be a mainstay in my Kindle. I also recommend this for fans of satire and the wildly unconventional.
