The Book of Bitterman
Smh …
‘The conditions we find ourselves can change us. Without goodness to guide us, reassure us and comfort us we become vulnerable to isolation, loneliness and sickness.’

You might be asking - who is Rick? Is he a religious figure? A financier? A self-help guru? Bitterman is none - and all - of those things. He is not what society would judge to be successful - in fact at the current moment he likely has less than $2000 in the bank and is changing his own truck brakes on a Saturday evening - his truck being a beat-up GMC he calls ‘The Shark’.
Bitterman is observant - and he has a lot to say - but he does not preach it. He doesn’t even ask you to listen - he only offers you his thoughts in this book - and perhaps as you are reading it - you may start to ask yourself the same questions he has asked himself and those who know him.
