Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 I once loved a girl who loved John Cusack more than she loved me. This was fine, because Cusack is a pretty cool guy. But I realized that I had viewed the competition completely backward: it was definitely an unfair battle, but not in my favor. It was unfair in Cusack’s favor.#2 Fake love is a very powerful thing. It can make us do crazy things, like fly to Portland to see the first US appearance by Coldplay, a British pop group that produces fake love as frantically as Ford produces Mustangs.#3 The main problem with mass media is that it makes it impossible to fall in love with any normalcy. You can’t compare your relationship with the playful couple who lives next door, because they’re probably modeling themselves after Chandler and Monica.#4 The media has transfected us all with the Woody Allen personality type, which makes it acceptable for beautiful women to sleep with nerdy, be-spectacled goofballs. This has helped me with many women, and I’m sure it has helped all modern men who look and talk and act like me.
