A really fun read, great, Australian contemporary examples of ideas that really made it good.

Not as good as Cult Status. A lot of rehashed material from Cult Status with more aspirational techniques that are great in theory.

Great attempt at a self help book, I just couldn’t get into it unfortunately. Ideas were too simplistic and common sense for me to consider them helpful or useful.
