The cofounder of Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver, and Walking Papers shares what the hard-knock rock life has taught him about how to be a good dude (in spite of it all). One wouldn't usually turn to a veteran of Guns N' Roses for advice on how to live, but Duff McKagan is not a typical rock musician. As chronicled in the New York Times bestseller It's So Easy (and other lies), Duff got sober at thirty, went back to school, got smart about money, fell in love, became a father, and got his life back on track. Through trial and considerable error, Duff has learned to strike the balance between family and work, travel and contentment, financial aptitude and sacrifice. In How to Be a Man (and other illusions), Duff takes the reader into the life of an international rock musician and shares, with disarming candor and humor, the solid life lessons he's learned along the way to success and fulfillment in both his family life and his career. From hard-won advice on such basics as starting with a strong base and staying humble, to techniques on how to stave off depression and transform darker impulses into something productive, How to Be a Man is the ultimate guide to rocking life -- not as a dissolute train-wreck "rock star," but as a man destined for success and longevity.Binding Type: Paperback

Good Intro to Philosophy
Format: Paperback
There’s a lot to this book, if you haven’t read anything by Dostoyevsky before this book could be a little challenging to get into, that being said it was a very good read and a real page turner. There’s some really good stuff in there that is broken down into plain English. Some of the shorter quotes I think were beautiful especially the ones about self reliance and motivations for someone to cling onto religion.

Great Read!
Great book! I was recommended this by my now boyfriend and it’s a 10/10 book if you really like to think. The book itself came in perfect condition no creases or damage.

BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL
Format: Paperback
First and foremost: as far as this specific translation of the book goes- I didn't have too much of an issue with it. I will say that whilst reading, I noticed some of the letters were scratched.
This will not go against my opinion of the book.
At first, I was going place this book in C tier. Only because I couldn't understand it. But after finishing, I will instead put it in A tier. (For me)
To start off, I will say to be careful! Only because Neitzsche is (to my understanding) a misunderstood source.
With that out of the way, I would like to say that this book did indeed challenge what I believed about "Good" and "Bad."
How? Well, Neitzsche has an interesting view on the concept of "Good and Evil" viewing it as "Imposing your will to power onto others and the world around you"
By the fourth section, you are given various quotes. Some of those I found myself liking. One of them being: "He who fights with monsters mustn't become one. The longer you gaze into the abyss, it gazes also into you"
For me to understand what was said here, I feel as if I should look more into Neitzsche (as far as this review is concerned at the moment)
Final score: 4.5/5
