The author of that book is an active hater of this forum and of Roosh. I know that because my thread on him got closed, but his blog is ok.
I used to follow Entropy's site more back in the day when he was still "Entropy" and he was more game tactics and PUA minded. He switched his site to "practical pick-up" for a while now, now it's "post-masculine", I check it out from time to time, but typically the quality of articles has dropped off (IMHO).
I never saw or read anything that he is a Roosh hater, he used to be a relatively active member of this forum, and had a pretty high rep count after dropping some good data sheets, but I haven't seen him post anything in months.
One thing though, he has seem to taken a different mentality towards women, pick-up, and relationships. He seems to condemn misogyny and the notion that women are "beneath men", plus he has a far more rosy outlook then what Roosh or most guys here subscribe to. He also is against the dichotemy of the alpha/beta divide. So in essence a lot of stuff he talks about contradicts Roosh's teachings. However, I have never once seen him write anything specifically bad about Roosh.
It's good to get a different perspective on stuff, but now Mark Manson's stuff almost seems to be going the route of Tony Robbins, all motivational, change your life, think positive, etc.
Mark Mason is Entropy4 on this forum, respected member, but not really active these days. This is the thread on his forum is where he was "hating" on Roosh:

Not sure if all of it is true, but a lot of his criticism (as well as compliments) is IMHO valid an apparent when you read Roosh's blog. I would have to say that I got infected with the hateful attitude of the Roissysphere (which is generally the de rigueur groupthink of this forum) in the past and I don't think it was helpful at all. Honestly this attitude had cost me bangs before and decreased my quality of life. Successful people have almost always great attitudes and these are the people I want to learn from. This forum has a number of people like that, let's mention G Manifesto as a good example, never seen that cat say anything hateful or overly misogynist, this "handicap" doesn't seem to prevent him from getting laid a lot.
But back on topic, I haven't read Models yet, but heard about it and like Mark's blog a lot. It would be first choice if I would look for pickup literature again.
