What do you guys think of pic related? Just read the first chapter, the author sure does love to swear.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 29 04:52:31 2017 No.10462718 Do MRA-flavored self-help books get more discussion here than literary fiction?

>>	Cold remedies? Fri Dec 29 09:25:37 2017 No.10463202 >>10462711 Self help books are a waste of money. You're better off reading stoic or budhhist literature.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 29 09:29:55 2017 No.10463211 The only self-help authors worth reading are Tolle and Burkeman. I wouldn't classify the stoics as self-help only, so I'm not gonna count them among those ranks >10462718 Obviously.

this guy presents a bunch of skills and coping mechanisms for the man against the world at large

you can easily find these things online
without all the cusswords

look up dialectical behavior therapy.
Its just a bunch of cuss words plastered on what we know about "radical acceptance".

All these self-help gurus are basically taking what your therapist says, except they package it for the masses versus working with the individual.

seriousy looking into cognitive behavior therapy , existential therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy then read this book and any of the Tony Robbin pulp and you realize that these people are trying to cheat you out of your cash while your therapist bills your insurance.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 30 18:05:40 2017 No.10470004 I was really shy as a kid because I always always so stressed out. After I read about "the subtle art of not giving a fuck" I became much more outgoing and started to enjoy life more.

I was in an airport and saw like ten variations of this book like:
>The French Art of Not Giving a F*ck
>The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
>The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck by Sarah Knight
>Get Your Sh*t Together by Sarah Knight
and so on. Pretty odd in the open opportunism and mimicry.

holy fuck my sisters got me this for christmas I consider it absolute trash. Cannot believe there is a thread for this. Starts off explaining bukowski as someone you should emulate. Could not have judged a book by it's cover with more accuracy then I did this one.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 30 18:52:06 2017 No.10470191 >>10462711 My GF has this book, I honestly don't know how it was even published, or why people buy it. One of these days I'm going to write a book myself. This one is an example that you can write about nothing for nobody and it will sell.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 30 23:08:08 2017 No.10471084 >>10471073 btw, Macchiavelli can be seen as self-help. The first book ever written was a self-help book: Ptahhotep's Advices.

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 31 04:26:34 2017 No.10472007 >>10462711 Self-help books are dumbed down and simplified takes on some applied philosophy. They sell well and if they work for some people I guess that's fine. I don't think they should have exposure on this board though.
