Sounds like an ENTP.
Poor slob doesn't get it.

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.

Lol, oh the irony.
Introverts are the new black.
True enough. However, the assertion that extroverted people don't live in a fantasy land is completely baseless. Is all I'm saying.
...?
"Living in a fantasy land" really has more to do with N than anything else. That fact that this is coming from someone who is dominant Ni makes it ironic.
Losers are the ones who think they can change their lifes by following an instruction manual...
Being able to SEE a fantasy land does not automatically assume that a person lives in it. There's where the error lies.

We love losers.
And you hate losers.
You openly and publicly hate losers - 'loser', in your lexicon is a pejorative word.

That's it! I'm moving to Oz. Who's coming with me?
