This is a great book. It's about how certain aspects of capitalism and capitalist societies and culture especially a certain brand of selfish capitalism that the Yanks love to pedal, depend on keeping most of the population unhappy, insecure and needy.
No great revelation in itself per se, but there's some interesting stuff in there. Especially in relation to sex relationships and consumption.
Really interesting read. Anyone here read it? Any ideas on how it relates to sex pick up, social worth, self esteem etc?
"The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, it's what you do with it that matters."
