I fail to understand why this book is lauded by so many people. I fail to see why this book is regarded as inspirational.

Remember, your ego is the most important thing in the universe so get out there and show off your ability to be better at something than everyone else.

Ignore what anyone else has to say, even if they may actually be right and have a very good reason to say it. Don’t worry if you kill or injure anyone while doing your stupid stunts, just make sure they all get to see how amazing you are.
Ho hum, call me curmudgeon, i’m off shopping on me moped.
