Diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at the age of eight, Dr Camilla Pang struggled to understand the world around her. Desperate for a solution, Camilla asked her mother if there was an instruction manual for humans that she could consult. But, without the blueprint to life she was hoping for, Camilla began to create her own. Now armed with a PhD in biochemistry, Camilla dismantles our obscure social customs and identifies what it really means to be human using her unique expertise and a language she knows best: science.

Self indulgent and uninsightful
Revisado: 03-09-23
I am not the type of person who likes to be rude. However, if you release a book, I believe you open yourself up to criticism by suggesting that what you wrote down is wise and helpful. This book is a long litany of self-indulgence and self pity over a life that sounds frankly much better than mine and I bet most people's. There are very few insights in this book and those weak insights that are there seem to just be celebrations that the author kind of understands machine learning or some topic like that.
I'm fine with the author being proud of their life and perspective, however, when it is marketed as something insightful that will help people on the autism spectrum understand others, I feel like my time is wasted when I have to listen to her talk about her boyfriends, her good but not perfect high-school, or her many parties.
Struggling people look to books like these to hear someone in their shoes, not to hear someone who has had a fortunate life, full of support and coddling, lament their mild struggles and talk about how wise they are while offering nothing.
Again, I'm sorry to be rude, but it is an act of narcissism to release a book that contains us virtually no handbook type advice for people on the autism spectrum, (what I was told this book would have and something I was excited for) all while telling a very self indulgent story about how interesting you and your life is.
I don't know who this book is supposed to be for, it is certainly not for people with autism who are struggling, or anybody struggling. Maybe it's just a vanity project for the author herself. Regardless, I found it frustrating and unhelpful and I regret supporting this author's self-indulgence with my money.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

A few good ideas, mostly self satisfied though
Revisado: 01-26-23
Had a few good thought provoking ideas but was mostly self-satisfied and a bit annoying. Why did so many people recommend this?
