I lie alot, and it makes me unhappy. I'm an honest hypocrite :P. |
Tell me about it!
I spent the last 2 years living a lie! Worst period in my admittedly short life.
I continued reading the book and have found it to be a mass of contradictions, along with some very dodgy stories (Don't you hate it when writers use obviously fictional stories to get their point across?).
Not saying that there aren't some valuable points in that... It's just that a 400 page book could have been easily scaled down to 50 pages allowing readers to pick and choose points to apply in their life at their discretion instead of having to wade through piles of crap.
