>tfw fell for the self devlopment meme

wasted my time and energy reading through 30+ books like pic releated , on topics ranging from how to get rich to how to get sex , be more confident ,focus more etc

The funny thing is that I found myself devlopping more and becoming smarter reading philosophy,dostoevsky work ,than reading these self devloppment books


don't fall for this shitty meme , reading them is mostly a waste of time and not worth your time and energy , you should probably read a fun book instead

So, you aren't opposed to self development?
I mean, anything related to improving your personality is probably bullshit.

I'm against them obviously since they are just a time sink

I hate people who read these kinds of books exclusively , and consider themselves as readers

I worked for a place that did ghostwriting services for awhile and, surprise surprise, the people writing these books are fucking insufferable.

Okay Calvinist Klein over here

We can alter neural pathways and modify actual behavior. Rarely, yeah, but there are people who change eating habits or quit smoking.

No cure for being a brainlet though and if we don't have real nootropics by 2030 I'm killing myself lmao

sounds gay, but if you're on 4chan, you're by default outside the scope of these books' target audience

No disrespect to the ghostwriters themselves. Takes a will of iron to listen to multiple self-described entrepreneurs talk about "that Mark Manson book" daily.
