I think this is one of the rare, rare contests where one can say, without any hesitation, there are no winners. Or better to say, both are winners. It is a beautiful feeling to read a real book. Reading from Kindle is easy, practical, affordable, in one word, smart. But it is the action of reading itself that is important.
The Manosphere is sort of an umbrella term which houses the beliefs of various subcultures which may have different conclusions about how to go about what they all perceive to be a problem: “Feminism has instituted an unnatural way of life”
One of the major sticking points of being religious is that you want to be a good person, that you want to help your fellow humans, that you want to be gentle and kind and those are the reasons we still need religion. Well, that is not true. Even if you feel that you need some guidance on how to live well and why you should do it when it seems that being evil is much more worthy, there are books that can help you in that regard. More than that, there are entire completely secular systems of why you should be ethical and how to best approach it.
As the beliefs we have influence the experiences we face, what we believe seems very important. What we think about the issues we face influences how we spend our time on this earth. While I don’t believe for a second in the absolutism of ‘you attract what you are’ because it is partly blaming the victims of abuse for their experiences, we should not deny the impact of our beliefs on our experiences.
Unlike, say, Dawkins, whose books in my opinion do make similarly grandiose claims, without a strong philosophical foundation, here we see that the author takes extra care to try to disprove the strongest arguments possible.

Naturally, some would say that Dawkins’ books are written for a more general population.
