I'm definitely an IJ, for what it's worth. Probably INFJ. That sounds about right... but that's just it. I don't have any idea how to survive if I just jump in somewhere, and there's no one to help me figure it out. I don't really feel like I have anything to fall back on.

The rub is ... you learn by jumping in.

A little hard to swallow, but... yes, that's the kind of person I've always tried not to be, so it only makes sense. But... what if you don't even know how to jump in in the first place, because you can't even see how to get to the pool? If I knew how to jump in, I'd probably be able to figure it out from there, somehow...

I'm starting much, much further back than most people seem to think, here. Unfortunately I always manage to come across as far more well-adjusted than I actually am.

My greatest frustration in life is that I am surrounded by people who live in a personal fantasy land, so according to this man's definition, despite preferring to be alone whenever possible, I am not, in fact, an introvert.

I guess that's a relief!

I kind of like myself, thanks. Don't really need your approval, book selling guy.

But get that Shamwow guy to pitch for you then come see me.

The thing about the shamwow guy is that I think he has OCD. (Who else spends twenty bucks on paper towels in a month?)

Wow, I love the way the main page sells the book. It's brilliant, and I appreciate brilliance. It's perfectly straight to the point. This isn't going to trick anybody. People don't "fall" for this kind of thing. They're either going to look into something they want to learn about, or they'll laugh and leave the site. Everybody who is offended and talking about it is just helping to promote the book.

The Popular Guy says "While you’re living in fantasy land, I’m milking the real world for everything it offers: popularity, admiration, endless friends, sex, and success. But you don’t want that anyway, right? Lie to yourself."

Well, you're either lying to yourself or you're not. I don't see what the big deal is. You're all getting defensive. It's funny. You're making it look like he's right. (Part of the brilliance.)

The book is probably easily worth $30 if that's the kind of information you want. And I'm sure the guy has a lot of unique points that you won't find anywhere else. Sometimes bold language, straight talk, and facts are necessary for making an impact. It's his job to really make you think, but the thoughts you leave with are yours and yours alone. You're not going to believe anything you don't agree with. He gives you information that forces you to take a stance - essential for progress. Even if you'd never do anything with the knowledge directly, it would still be fun to read, and I certainly have respect for anyone who is trying to better themselves. You have to start somewhere, whether it's buying a book and realizing you make bad decisions or buying a book and actually examining everything it says to see what out of it you can utilize to improve your life. It's as simple as that.

Keep in mind that none of you have actually read the book.

True enough. However, the assertion that extroverted people don't live in a fantasy land is completely baseless. Is all I'm saying.
