Life is shit, and being a useless NEET isn't making that any better.
It means he doesn't want to get a real job.

His book is equivalent in worth and meaning to a tweet. He's saved you $20.
He's saying nothing new, at least in the tweet (haven't read and don't intend to read the book). There's a laundry list of literature on the topic of man's search for meaning. A life of leisure is a recipe for unhappiness. [spoilder]work will set you free[/spoiler]

Although this may be true, I think the intent behind it is less snake-oily and more about reframing basic truths into archetypal paradigms. It gives it a grandiose feeling but breaks down the specifics of trite self-help shit into a more coherent or approachable normative philosophy.

This thread is a waste of space so I’ll borrow it. I’m trying to remember the name of a book, all I can remember about it is that the main character gets captured when he’s on a boat and becomes a slave in some arab country but eventually escapes with the master’s daughter. Any ideas?
