It is a self-help book with a ton of add-on fluff, you can look up the 7 habits online:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Habits_of_Highly_Effective_People

Then you save yourself the book.

It's a bit hard to explicitly follow these habits -

I try being proactive, and I try defining my personal goals, and I try to put myself in the other's position, and I try to read as many books as possible. Doesn't everybody?
I don't need Covey to tell me that.

I really wish books were cheaper here in Chile. even fucking Argentina has them cheap as fuck, and they have been through a crisis for years now

[Anonymous No.5268451]

>>5268423
I never, ever buy books new. Always go to thrift stores or used bookstores. Are they still expensive in those?

And my uncle's in Chile, he has a restaurant. So I get your struggle.

There are plenty of females who exist on 4chan in anonymous bliss, they don't choose to abuse their power for their own gain, but remain anonymous for the sake of the whole. You, on the other hand, are the equivalent of a corrupt official who poisons the success of our beautiful society.

That completes the irony, but it definitely contains an ironic juxtaposition on its own. Particularly if the intent is to incite misogynistic sexual comments.
