"How to put things in their rightful wrong place"

There are books and books.

Some books are meant to be read, some read the world, and some can read us. 

Others are meant to be used.

That's the case in this book written by António Alvarenga. 

Made to be used; read; interpreted; given away, whole or in parts; placed at the beginning of a shelf to support others (as it is quite heavy).

The author says about the book:

“Advice is only advice if it is given, it is only advice retroactively. So, here's some starting advice: rip the advice out of this book and offer it to the right person. 

Sometimes the right person is ourselves. Other times, the right person doesn't exist. 

Keep the stub for yourself. This book will only be a book when it gives everything it has."
