This isn't a great book I would recommend unless you are at your lowest hour.
I was in the hospital shitting my pants and seizuring memories down the drain. I had broken bones. I was financially threatened by a few family dysfunctions. My car would not start. I had to buy new tires. My fiancee was behind on her bills. The mechanic cousin who fixed the car for a low price put chewing gum as a sealant on the fuel intake tubes. The motor caught on fire and I hauled it to the scrapyard. I had finals. I had bed bugs. Then once I got rid of the bed bugs, fleas. My mom tried to poison me. Then after the fleas the bed bugs came back. I had a bicycle accident and a concussion. All in the two months I read this cheap mass market normie bleating paperback about sadomasochism. It worked. I had nurses over me and I fantasized about them having finished the book before me as if I was in a Scrubs episode. Everyone when I slept said "I REALIZED, Anon, that you aren't GRINDING and taking inventory of HOW MUCH LIFE SUCKS"
The pathos of Goggins got me running half marathons and winning 5k races. I since then stopped being a pussy and follow a perfect no chocolate keto diet flawless for a year straight. I'm recovering from all the trauma and my nerves are almost normal and my organs almost soothed. But Goggins was the only motherfucker who was there for me. If it wasn't for him I'd be depressed at the lack of humanity available to me in that time. When I look back on those memories every nurse, highway tow truck driver, waiter, teacher and NPC is David Goggins encouraging me to stop being a pussy and giving me some shitty stupid advice I take him up on until better arrives. Better did arrive much later. If I got better than I would have sunk in despair under its far steep learning curve.

Good.
I feel like I'm in my final days, so I might give it a look.

This isnt a book but when I had erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation I bought a Stamina trainer Fleshlight and it actually improved my cockmanship. Should I write an instructional guide on this? My fapping technique was the cause. I hadn't watched porn in years.

I'm certain I have a better book for this question, but the only thing I can think of is The Great Gatsby. I finished it in one sitting pretty much. My eyes burned; my bladder strained, but I kept on reading. I quite possibly could have pissed myself, but I could not put down that masterpiece.

That night was homecoming. I never went to a school dance. I was too much of an autist at that time, not even having any interest in going, but I was aware enough to know that it was a social / developmental milestone I should have gone to. But while those kids were partying and getting laid, I, someone who is not the best reader, finished a book without interruption for the first and only time in my life.
