It really feels like a book that encourages you to bend the truth of how you really feel to profit from others’ ignorance. At the same time, I struggle with impostor syndrome and the author *clearly* does not. Who am I to write a book? I’m qualified to write on a lot of topics, and hyper-qualified for a few. But it doesn’t always feel that way. So when the author gives *a lot* of really actionable tips to do this or that to improve your credibility or get quotes or reviews from people, it feels slimy. But capitalism is slimy. So I suppose it’s supposed to feel that way.

This is an incredibly helpful and empowering book that left me feeling a bit destitute. Now I see people selling and working these kinds of campaigns and books and hustles and courses and all that *all over the web.* But I guess that’s good for them.

It’s a really useful book but gods damn if it doesn’t make me feel like society’s real fucked up that I feel like that.… (mer)
