It was an interesting review. Just finished the book. It didn't have such an influence on me as the first book did but still I find it very informative.
Thanks for the review. I listened to the audio version and the young man in it is extremely agressive, almost hysterical, often making the dialogue hard to follow. Other than that, I found this book rather disturbing in so far as it claims that showing love and respect to everyone will pretty much automatically make people love and respect you in return. And that is the reason we end up choosing isolation-because we do not want to get hurt again. Well... thank you Captain Obvious! I don't think human beings are naturally good at loving each other unconditionally, and just telling them to do so may not be enough. I don't know. While I like the idea that true happiness is to be found in interpersonal relationships and the importance of being concerned with other people's concerns, that is also a dangerous way of approaching the world, as people might consciously or unconsciously take advantage of you. But the idea that you should stop considering yourself the center of the universe is, at least for me, quite revolutionary.
You got it wrong, you do not love and respect others so that they will love and respect you. You do it wether they decide to or not. This is the separation of tasks.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment!

Great book, Im reading it and its marvellous.
I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it.
@@DavoodGozli thanks
@@DavoodGozli sorry for responding late
I haven't read the first part. Would it be worth it to start from the sequel as I don't have the first part.
That might be a good idea, since you’ll save the better book (in my opinion) for later.
@@DavoodGozli Thanks.
Im the first person to comment btw
I find this style of books so boring!
I don’t blame you
