Hey /lit/, I am finally doing okay in life but I want to take it to the next level. I want to absolutely crush everything in life like Jonny Kim. What books will get me in this mindset?

Not everyone is a Napoleon, Rodya. If you have to read a book to do it, it's not right.

Useless pawn who climbed little up the ranks? This guy achieved more than your and mine family generation combined. I wouldn't be surprised at this point he can do whatever he sets his mind to.

He is right and you have been conditioned all your to respond positively to trite success stories with their trappings of hierarchical prestige, material-excess accumulation. Its impressive and I'm still glad the conventional path worked for him. But this is the truth.

If you think my post is so stupid, why did my post make you upset enough to answer it? Do you wish to be successful like that? Do you have aspirations and do you believe they are your own original thoughts? You don't even have to answer me. Just think about it.

Not to be disrespectful but what did he do that isn't some social badge of approval? Something truly unique which pushes the boundaries of human accomplishment?

If you just want to be as successful as him then just fulfill all the expectations that are laid upon you by society and be lucky enough to get recognized and rewarded for it.
