I don't know. I did enjoy the read even if I didn't agree with it very much.

I'm unsure if it's meant to be life advice or philosophy but it misses the mark on both for me.

If life advice: Sure maybe for you? Others might find they're a bit happier with a drink and their comfort TV shows in the evening.

If philosophy: Aren't mindless self indulgence and relentless self improvement both just raging against an inevitable death? In a Buddhist sort of "All life is suffering" sort of way? What about being present?
