Bravo! 💙🙏💙
Thanks very much!
Was very excited to see you reviewing this. Read this 10 years ago (In Peru, ironically) and found "Civilization and Its Discontents" more informative and valuable than his "Interpretation of Dreams". It's become another "Lindy Book" that you have to read a 2nd or 3rd time just to extract more meaning from.
Nice - In Peru no less! Haha awesome. Yes great point, I plan to reread it as well.
Insightful, CLS. Concise and penetrating. Thank you.
You're very kind, thank you Rob, glad you enjoyed.
Super good review. If I were to diagnose American society right now I would say it is more borderline than neurotic !
Thank you very much! Totally agree haha
Thanks again for a great review and for bringing another interesting book to my attention. Added to my soon to be read.
My pleasure, thanks for your kind words Leroy, hope you find it as fascinating as I.
Great review, well done. Added to tbr.
Thanks a bunch man, awesome, I think you’ll appreciate it.
Holy shit I read this almost 25yrs ago in college and could not find anyone to talk to about this. Not even my psych prof. Haven’t watched yet but I’m excited.
Hope you enjoy man. It’s so good!!
