I can't believe /lit/ fooled me into reading this self-help garbage. The only helpful thing in this retard book is habit stacking and a single page would be enough to explain it.

[Anonymous No.19057038]

I’m gonna habit stack your mom tonight. Please make yourself scarce.

so when you stack habits, are you a top habit or a bottom habit?

I keep seeing this book and others in the same vein get shilled on Instagram.
Like this woman explaining how every morning she wakes up and goes for a walk every morning listening to audiobooks, and she name drops this book and some others like pic related.
They seem like a total grift to me.
You’re not going to become a CEO by reading a bunch of books

So the point of this thread is that you had a different opinion of a book than some other folks? Fascinating.

[Anonymous No.19057113]

You just have to read ONE more self-help book and you will figure it all out!!

[Anonymous No.19057119]

The whole book, you're welcome

Isn’t that the whole fucking point of a literature board? To discuss our opinions of books?

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a decent financial book if you don't know what you're doing. It's not about making yourself a CEO, just not being a complete retard with money

Explain habit stacking please

You attach a habit you want to form with a habit you already do. If you want to start a meditation routine and you have a habit of brushing your teeth each morning, stack ten minutes of meditation on top of (after probably) brushing your teeth.

OP is still a fag. It’s a good book and the author seems like a legit dude.

now you know, dont read anything that is new.

it needs to pass the lindy test

[Anonymous No.19058394]

You just learned a valuable lesson:
never read a generalized self-help or instructional book unless it directly relates to a project, process, or problem you are currently, repeatedly, or about to experience in your life.
Generalized books about 'habits' or 'communication' or 'wealth' - no.
Specific books, say about learning an instrument or quitting smoking, communicating with your SO or the chain of command in a company, or investing in FX or Supply Chain management in a retailer - yes.

[Anonymous No.19058455]

It’s self-help you got what you signed up for. Next you should read one about accepting responsibility, anyone got a good one?

Nor do any of these books say that you will. Straw man argument. Books contain knowledge, the application is up to you.

Fixed mindset detected. You need to read the top middle book here.

There's two decent books there. I'm convinced you made this to troll.

Self-help is all fucking garbage, but someone will always say "no wait, I know self-help is garbage but THIS one book is not like the others" then you read it and it's fucking garbage and you realize that the person who recommended it to you was a retard. Self-help is literally the anime of literature, more than actual anime themed shit.

Mindset and A Mind for Numbers are the only self help books that anyone should read.

[Anonymous No.19060794]

These books will help if you think they will help you.
The actual techniques are secondary.
That being said, I wonder what these peoples goals are who read these books.

[Anonymous No.19060826]

it can be read in 3h
>omg you wasted my time!!1
shouldnt be a big deal for someone who posts on lit

[Anonymous No.19060974]

I read it.
Goal was weightloss. Have since lost 25 kgs, hard to say if the book was the deciding factor in it, but it helped a little.

The only good advice from this book is to enjoy and celebrate your progress inmediatly after completing it. It creates a reward for your brain and makes you want to do it again the next time.

Mindset is a terrible book
I'm halfway in and it's all anecdotes
Could literally be summed up in a couple of pages

Please
You know full well that these books are marketed towards people’s insecurities about having what it takes to succeed.
