Carlson’s storytelling is evocative of CYA

As a writer telling others about arguments to “protect “ yourself from what he calls “scrooges” this book has a good them, but leaves you feeling scrooged with a defensive style that wants to cover all the bases, but ends up not covering any. This is of course, in the style of the new generation of gurus that want to a-peace everything and everyone. leaving out the meatier aspects of our bad experiences: justice.
