Do you remember in 2007 when you were 24 and your frontal lobe was still developing? Probably not. That was the year you went to see the movie Into The Wild. When you left the theater that day you were changed, you were dead set on packing up that old JanSport backpack from high school and hitchhiking to Alaska to find yourself. Everyone would call you Daffodil Tramp and no one would hold you back, especially your corporate-sell-out of a father who paid for college where you developed your mild drug addiction.

Do you remember watching Into The Wild, in 2013? Your brain finally grew some wrinkles and decided to participate in some executive functioning. At thirty you wanted to stay inside, struggle at work all week, and maybe drink beer all weekend with some video games. You didn???t want to hike around with bears in the Alaskan wilderness, and then (spoilers) die an agonizing death alone.

Breakdown is the book for you, today, at 41! Your brain kept growing and everything you hold as truth has changed because of those damn people on the internet or the idiots in Washington. This book is your invitation to once again say F-you to everything and pack up your corporate branded OGIO bag and say goodbye to your crappy life.

This book is wonderful. You are wrong when you say it is bad. You should be happy that you hated this book because obviously you value the life that you possess. Everyone else is going to the woods.
