Not really. It lays out the idea that there are four levels of reading: Elementary, inspectional, analytic, and syntopical.

The book assumes you can do the first two (actually understand what words mean, and superficially know what you just read) and focusses on teaching you the third level, analytic reading.

It argues that a good book is like learning lessons from a good teacher who is absent, so you have to learn to ask the book the right questions in order to get from it what you would if the teacher were there to talk to. That's why it's so popular with people trying to self-improve or self-educate.

Technically the book should be called "How to Read a Book Analytically," so it doesn't really contradict.

You're seeing parts of yourself as enemies to be defeated, rather than parts of you to be integrated. The parts of you that you call effeminate aren't going to go away by (ironically) getting emotional about them, and they aren't going to disappear because you wish they would.

You don't get to be born the way you think you should be, you are born the way you are. You either learn to work WITH what you are by channeling it into a worthwhile life, like learning to dance with an unfamiliar dance partner, or you can constantly bicker with yourself and be rendered useless as all your energies are channeled into negating yourself.

Don't take an image of a life and emulate it, take what you are and work with it

To be honest I briefly wondered if I was autistic. I always thought it meant you couldn't really have normal emotions and couldn't empathise with people, but then someone on my FB (friend of a friend of a etc) posted about a kind where you're the opposite and you empathise with other people too much and it overloads you. I googled it and couldn't find any information about it, so forgot about it.

If empathy autism is a thing, though, I should probably go talk to a doctor.

What if you equally enjoy femdom and being dominant, just in different ways?
