I have found value in some of the factual content of his blog posts and I think it’s a decent message to get out there, but tbh even with the two or three I’ve read they get pretty bloated and repetitive, so I doubt I’d want to read a whole book of his writing. I could see this as being a useful entry point for the libs in your life, but then again, a blog post is an easier ask.

One could level a similar criticism at Bullshit Jobs, which I’ve heard described as taking a pretty snappy essay and padding it out many times over, but I think the fact that a lot of the “padding” consists of individuals talking about their own experiences and the bullshit they have to endure makes it more compelling. Like, it’s been a while since I read it, and I actually listened to the audiobook rather than reading so my retention’s inevitably much worse, but I can still remember some of the specific people and their stories.
