★★☆☆☆ His "stories I've heard" are spread around the book and sure it is fun to read, but I cannot help but think, yeah but this is just to get attention.
🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
This one is much more painful to read than the first one I read earlier, The Book of Man.
It is a compilation of talks so taking that into account, so I'm sure listening to it live is more captivating, but as always not my thing anyways.
His "stories I've heard" are spread around the book and sure it is fun to read, but I cannot help but think, yeah but this is just to get attention, to keep the attention to him, and throw in some smart jokes here and there.
He disliked unnecessary disciplines from the established religions.
No he hated them, so he would go against them, it's like a mixture of cult and hippie life, it probably was.
Not sure if I'll ever read anything else by him or about him.
