really liked it

Most of this book was a fascinating contemplation of what drives human psychology. There was a lot of inside baseball where he takes on Freud, Kierkegaard and other philosophers on their wrong theories. There was a sliver of just unscientific theorizing about homosexuality (that was just tragically outdated and harmful). But on the whole, it was an excellent read by a great thinker and writer on the meaning of life (or lack thereof).
