Well written, deep level knowledge of medieval and church history and the current impacts are. I wish every evangelical would read this book and have their eyes opened like mine were

Every human should read/listen to this book

Revisado: 01-09-23

I want to listen to it over and over. It's thesis is well laid out and walks you through step by step through the history, sociology, anthropology, psychology and even theology to how the author arrived at it's conclusions. It will change your mind and hopefully your daily interactions for the better

I love this book so much. It's got everything. History. Stats. Good story telling. Adventure. Camping and hunting. International cultures. Applicable self help tools. Research. Get off your butt and get outside and get comfortable with discomfort type life coaching. And Buddhism.

He's just perpetuating trauma on others

Revisado: 02-06-22

He can't even recognize that even his book and his mindset is more evidence of how deep his childhood trauma still effects him. He's a child expressing his deep continual need for unconditional love by constantly seeking to prove he is worthy of it. And willingness to self flagellate to get the "hit". The story ends with his vision of God listing before him all the things he was supposed to do with his life (literally things he's done) and describes himself as living his life with a literal fear of God being disappointed in him for not "doing enough" with his life. That is exactly a manifestation of his deep trauma response and he can't even see it. He was never unconditionally loved. It's a heartbreaking autobiography but do not take his advice as something close to healthy. Just because a human being can give themselves heart failure and foot fractures doesn't mean they actually SHOULD. We also don't all have military funded health insurance to pay for it. Sure, get off the couch. Don't make excuses. You are your own limitations on many of your life's disappointments as an adult, literally schedule out your priorities.... great practical advice. He doesn't mention much about his failed marriages, only mentioning at the end he was very lonely at times but he "didn't need friends" or to "waste time" with conversations with loved ones after the food of dinner has been eaten. He briefly mentions he had a child but nothing about fatherhood. He doesn't see that he was winning to FAIL at being a husband, a father and a friend for the sake of choosing success of "running on two broken legs". Most of us would rather have successful and happy marriages, a loving and connected relationship in parenting and social connections with other human beings not just ourselves. And that's TOTALLY OKAY. THAT'S HEALTHY. That's not being a pussy. He can call those people limp dicks if he'd like but until he's grown a literal life on his bladder and pushed a 8,9,10 pound bowling ball through his penis then he can talk about women's genetalia being the weaker variety.
