I read this partially out of class/status anxiety, and partially with the intention to warn myself about parenting styles. It was helpful for that.

I think I have read a large amount of the book already from essays the author has written. It's that plus some padding.

As far as actual book content, it's one of those books by liberal arts people that misuse statistics, contradicts itself, and otherwise is largely written to incite debate and talk about "the truth", rather than truth. It does not provide any real answers, but talks a lot about finding your own way and other stuff. I mean, I actually do think that fucking up a bit will lead to more inner peace. The huge mistake the author makes is that helping people find inner peace will solve the world's problems. Sorry.
