This is not a self help book but more like an outside perspective on the flawed human nature.
It provides a cynical framework on how humans fool themselves and others thinking they are their own masters , and their will, long term and short term goals , and aspirations are their own , when in fact we can not even trust our senses and we let our emotions have the better of us without even having the chance to procees the "outside signals" .
We are slaves of our lizard brain , the one that knows only two states (drawers as the author puts it) : fight or flight , winner or loser , and everytime something uncomfortable happens in our lives we go into survival mode and that happens even to millionaires.
Pretty shocking that even long term goals and careers can be a byproduct of a frustration or a repressed emotion for example:
A guy finishes college and feels a need to move out of the parents house motivating that he needs freedom e feels a calling to explore the world . So he moves to thousands of miles from his parents , without realising that in fact he does it because he is jealous that his parents offered more attention to his sister during childhood.
Terrific read ! Totally recommend it !
