I'm going to cum on your face
the subtle art of Not Cumming on my face
the subtle art of pretending to have forgotten the safe word
>favorite book is self-help
A corporate drone with no self-awareness at all
No kidding. I hate these kinds of books, as well as the people who read them.
check'd
Is it at least a successful corporate drone?
defends capitalism for being "the best thing we have"
Quintessential redditor. So and the opposite of what he claimed.
the only people i know who like the book were commies
i know personal anecdotes doesn't necessarily line up with reality, though i subtly don't give a frick
If you didn't actually give a frick, you would go out in the middle of the street and take a big steaming shit right now.
The book is neither subtle nor artful. Readers of this book are haters or unthinking swine.
might I suggest, "The Joy of Negative Thinking" or ,"Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun?
It doesn't actually help in any way or give you useful advice. "Emotion drives logic!" Great, now what
Self help is for people too proud of their intellect or uniqueness or whatever the frick, but still crave religious guidance.
A cuck homosexual, super cuck and super homosexual. gay.
>What type of person do you imagine?
A woman
Listened to it recently while driving to a friend's in the next city over. I can see it being useful for clout chasers or people pleasers so I guess I'd picture those kinds of people. I'm neither so it didn't have any relevance to me but I might recommend it to my brother in law...
Someone who doesn't read
What does the book actually say? Im never gonna read this but i wanna know
From what I remember, the main point is "to pick your battles". There will be tons of shit in your life that you can't influence, so it is not worth it to get stressed about it.
>There will be tons of shit in your life that you can't influence, so it is not worth it to get stressed about it.
sounds like some stereotypical people going around and complaining to everyone until they find a sucker and then fleece him, in the meantime making life hell for everybody around them
seems to be the name of the game since WW2
they probably don't have any group of physical characteristics which would describe them, but I would bet $3.50 that their blend of rationality and (still) following trends makes them instantly recognizable anywhere... they have a bit of Jordan Peterson in them, side effect of processes related to psychotherapy a.k.a. "a non-drinker will get drunk on trying to heal drunks"
is that a good thing? a bad thing? probably good, as it cuts down the chances of them behaving like a stereotypical gyp / nig
but then again I haven't read / listened to the book
Upvote
I refuse to believe these are real. Who the frick buys these?
Childless single 30yo women hurtling towards the wall at machspeed trying to retcon their past poor life choices as the correct ones
Except the Peterson book, that's for 30 year old, terminally online "men"
>that's for 30 year old, terminally online "men"
Millennials don't need to be terminally online to have their manhoods dismissed. Just look at them. Their entire generation's contribution to the human race is "muh adulting is hard yo" while past generations built all the shit they left to rot even worse than their boomer forelosers did. In fifty to a hundred years, you won't even remember millennials were a thing.
How to be a man? You are probably right but I see no good template for manliness that would work in this world. People are either pussies or wannabe gangsters.
>Who the frick buys these?
Me, I read whatever the f*ck I want and so should you.
>Jordan Peterson 12 Rules among those books
seems about right
*I SHAT MYSELF*
A 30-year-old's journey through love, loss, and self-acceptance in the 21st century
the suckers are all dead
all the animals who didn't run away were eaten
come, Lord Jesus!
>using a swear word and then censoring it
always found this to be cringey as shit
Yeah it is. But imagine having this conversation with your publisher:
>Yeah... we noticed your manuscipt contains the f word. Could you maybe... not use that word?
>It's a book for adults.
>Yeah... but the thing is if the book uses the f word we cant market it a certain way. Could you change it to "frick" or "frack" perhaps?
>But movies and tv use the f word all the time. Even PG 13 movies get to use the word frick once.
>Yeah... but we cant sell your book at Schoolastic book fairs if it has the f word, and I'm a white woman who employs sensitivity readers to make sure any content that may be the slightest bit offensive gets edited out, so... Yeah...
alas……. this is the first thread in lit history where everyone agrees on something. maybe we should be nicer to each other going forward
A stupid slightly entrepreneurial person but like a low class stupid. Something like a garbage truck driver who is pulling himself up by the bootstraps.
My Sixth Form business teacher.
nah cripples and the malformed already do not give a frick... that's why they are so dangerous, manipulating women (and weak men) to have pity on them... while all they seek is destruction for destruction's sake
and communists worship their kind, so they get the women's vote
a clusterfugg i tell you
Someone always talking about podcasts and who has a social life but they don't really connect with anyone because they're looking at everything through the lens of self-help analysis.
This book is very American. The obvious fakeness of the devil may care attitude that the title of the book tries to convey, 100% undermined by the true pussyness of censoring the word "frick" because some people may not like it.
Americans are apparently immune to how fake something is.
Business major
Hedonistic
Oversocialized
Weak inner world
Lot of acquaintances but no real friends
Poor critical thinking skills
Trend follower
Slight sociopathic tendencies
Overall a total normie
A midwit, someone that probably works at HR or any other bullshit corporate job.
Do Americans really need books to be even more selfish?
>What type of person do you imagine?
A millennial. Sheltered. Suburban. Self-hating white. Redditor. The safe-edgy version of a cuckchanner.
What is it about anyway?
I read the highly praised book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and it was all incredibly obvious stuff about how to act well and I couldn't wrap my head around who the book was aimed at except maybe country bumpkins moving to the city. Is it like that?
Read that one too and it came off to me as a tutorial on how to be a sociopathic ass kisser
I wonder if books on spirituality is better
>sociopathic ass kisser
how come everyone who criticize the book is a drooling moron?
An irreplaceable, human soul. With your own understanding of what it means to suffer.
