I got nothing out of this book. It's obvious advice with a gimmick. Validate my opinion /lit/.

Changing is not just changing the things outside of us. First of all we need the right view that transcends all notions including of being and non-being, creator and creature, mind and spirit. That kind of insight is crucial for transformation and healing. That kind of insight can only come from The Real Thing®

It was about making $$$. Clason had a career in publishing, producing maps and atlases. In the mid 1920s he started printing the individual chapters as pamphlet that were given out by banks, savings and loans, and insurance companies as freebies. Eventually, they were collected together into book form.
So, to answer your question, yes, there was a gimmick. It's all part of capitalism, marketing, and whatnot. It's all about making a buck.
Despite that, it is still sound advice.
