I'm unironically thinking about writing a self-help book.
Thoughts?

Yes, write it. Is it about anons?

Probably, I thought about writing one, so I can fix parts of my life and not forget what it worked and what didn't. That made me realize the importance of being able to write. People should be able to write their own self-help books.

Should probably fix the parts of your life you feel need fixing first and just take notes along the way. Nobody seeking help will listen to someone who doesn't at least appear to have their shit together (nor should they).

Not really, anon. That is where thinking cames in, FFS. Are you one of those sheep retards that follow those rich guys on youtube that have 'all their shit together' by scamming other people? I don't feel like helping any sheep. People have to think by themselves, every time you see something you should think if that seems good.

>> No.18623020

>>18623015
Also, by writing and putting it out there I can get feedback and maybe some input on the same problem by other people. So it is not like I wouldn't end up getting help either.

It will probably be productivity and getting more done.
>>18622943
Yeah, basically it's what I've learned over the years.

I'm not one of the retards. But I'm going to sell to them.

Go for it friend. Just stay in your lane and don't be my competition.

No, I don't follow anyone on youtube. I was merely advising anon that if they wanted to have any chance of being successful writing self help books they should have been able to help themselves first and people should be able to see that. Otherwise why would anyone buy it?

>> No.18623278

>>18623269
I'm not selling my book. I don't think it is noble to profit writing books to people in disgrace, specially considering that I don't know any anon and probably wouldn't be a lot of help. That would go against the Kantian ideal of a man.

>> No.18623283

Well if it'll help you and you think you have something to say (even if only to yourself) then go for it. Writing anything is always better than writing nothing.

I think if you want to do it you should, but wasting time making threads about it won't help you towards that goal

Maybe you'll be even more productive writing this shit, so go for it.

Go on /adv/ and just copy-paste anons answers from that the archive. Find the most useless and funny advice.

>> No.18625060

>>18625058
I'm beginning to hate /adv/: cause if you admit to fucking up anons love to criticize you. Like no shit, I fucked up and asked for advice on how to fix it: don't tell me how to solve an unrelated problem.
