Yeah, that's what I meant by it being outdated. He uses a lot of examples and aphorisms from the 1930s, which sometimes come off as a little bit quaint or folksy almost 100 years later. I'll also mention that the book was written for men "influencing" other men; any reference to women in the book is usually in the context of them being objects that should be managed using the author's techniques.

I'm not sure why this would be downvoted. I hope that people consider treating women like objects to be outdated and problematic.

The backlash against the MeToo movement shows that that treatment is not as outdated/problematic as it should be.
