What people on Hacker News said
The book attempts to describe the complete process of neurotic personality development: how and why it starts, how it affects a person's behavior and life choices.
Many concepts presented in this book where a revelation to me, and I believe it significantly deepened my understanding of myself and human psychology in general.
I think anyone could benefit from reading this, because even if you're not neurotic at all, you will inevitably meet someone who is.
