Felt like a research paper

This felt like a research paper into various philosophies of paths of life rather than a book with "a practical guide" in the title. I hated it. I absolutely hated it. The author says "if you remember one thing" four different times that I highlighted, and outlines key figures, and I really feel like this title does not go with the book in anyway. It feels like a guy mansplaining philosophy to me. Congratulations on 15+ chapters of listing the different philosophers and philosophies you know.
