You're welcome.
Good luck! I hope it works out with your friend.
I'm not sure if the book will change his attitude it is hard for a book to do that, but the book encourages the reader to be extremely realistic and self-reliant. These are a few lines from the book.
- Your task is to resist the temptation to wish it were all different; instead you must fearlessly accept these circumstances, even embrace them. The firmer your grasp on reality, the more power you will have to alter it for your purposes.
- You should have a greater fear of what will happen to you if you remain dependent on others for power. The ultimate power in life is to be completely self-reliant, completely yourself.
- We have layers of support that seem to prop us up. But these supports are illusions in the end. Everyone in the world is governed by self-interest. People naturally think first of themselves and their agendas. An occasional affectionate or helpful gesture from people you know tends to cloud this reality and makes you expect more of this support, until you are disappointed again and again. You're more alone than you imagine and this should not be a source of fear, but of freedom.
- When you prove to yourself that you can get things on your own, then you experience a sense of liberation. You are no longer waiting for people to do this and that for you.
In your friend's case he seems to be dependent on people who disappoint him. He has expectations from them, which they are unable to meet. It is easy to read the above in a book (common sense) but hopefully he will follow it.
