I agree with others about the cover art; it looks like a sales pitch, which is unappealing and made me skeptical. What I like about the book is its encouragement to take charge and responsibility for your life and not wallow in blaming circumstances or other people for your problems. That said, the ideas about thinking for yourself and breaking away from group influences are not new or original. I can think of other books with more workable and effective ways of accomplishing that.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the book. It's always valuable to hear different perspectives on literature.
I agree that the cover art can be misleading and affect one's initial perception of the book. However, the book's content seems to resonate with you, particularly its message about taking responsibility for one's life.
You mentioned that the ideas in the book about thinking for yourself and breaking away from group influences are not new or original. While this may be true, the author's perspective and presentation of these ideas may still be valuable to readers who are unfamiliar with them or who need a reminder. It's also possible that the author offers a unique approach or perspective on these concepts that differs from other books you've read.
It's great that you have read other books with workable and effective ways of accomplishing the same ideas. It's always useful to have a variety of resources to choose from, as different approaches may resonate with different people.
