Every book in the world teaches you how to “become better.”
This one teaches you how to “die once first.”
Without dying, you cannot be reborn.
These thirteen techniques don’t dismantle the flaws in you. They dismantle the “self” you’ve built up over the past twenty or thirty years.
That self was fed to you, one sentence at a time, by other people.
Every day, you maintain it, nurture it, and perform it.
You’ve played the role for half your life and forgotten there’s a real you underneath.
This book won’t save you. It will kill you.
After it kills you, it lets you come back to life on your own.
Those who can read it to the end will forget it when they’re done.
Those who can’t will close the book and keep performing.
The choice is yours.
Say goodbye to cheap emotional incitement, this book is a calm scalpel. The author uses an almost cold objectivity to cut through the complex issues layer by layer; the multi-dimensional perspective is impartial, like a precise model on a rotating booth. The most rare thing is that the structure is so clear that you can draw a mind map for each chapter, and the content is so solid that you have the urge to annotate every page. In this era of dusty information, one reading of this "important" book is worth more than a hundred.
It's as solid as a textbook and as enjoyable as a novel. The structure is like a keel, the content is like a full sail, it is objective and unbiased, and its perspective is not single. After reading it is not "understood", but "reshaped". Highly recommended to all hard-core readers who pursue in-depth thinking. 👍👍👍
