Just buy the two books “What They Teach You at Harvard Business School” & “What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School” and that should cover the entire fucking universe.
I’m pretty sure the 2nd title is disproportionately large.
The book actually grows in size every day, a great read for the rest of time!
Infinitely so
Everything is either a potato or not a potato
what about potato superposition
Just measure it’s potatoness, should fix it for bit.
Someone once tried to achieve enlightenment with just the second book, but it turns out the familial relationship between the soul and the mind is covered in an elective course.
According to Ben Rich, 2/3 HBS = BS
"If you’re looking for self-help, why would you read a book written by somebody else? That’s not self-help… that’s help. There’s no such thing as self-help. If you did it yourself you didn’t need help. Try to pay attention to the language we’ve all agreed on. "
-George Carlin
Came here for this, thank you 🖤
yes, you do it yoursef, but you always need some external inputs and inspiration before you try something new. and where you get that inspiration and what you try matters a lot.
and where you get that inspiration and what you try matters a lot.
I get mine from spite.
“How to Cope with Having a Flat Butt”
Long Back Syndrome
I get the joke, and certainly not all self-help books are good, but also people are unique and at different places in their lives. With just a little introspection one can probably tell which book would be better for them. Maybe they say yes too much and would benefit from learning how and when to say no; or they say no to everything and would benefit from learning to embrace new experiences.
Or, you know, pick one up and thumb through a few pages.
I love Christmas and Halloween, but International Naked in the Library Day is my favourite.
When you haven’t seen the sun in so long you start to glow.
That’s what I did. Eventually I just became the sun.
Are ya winning, sun?
Tuesday?
You betchah. See you next Tuesday.
There’s one in the middle you can’t see that says “Moderation In All Things”
Hmm I should make a book titled “everything in moderation”. It’ll be 500 pages long, and take every single self improvement be-all-end-all solution to whatever problem, and tell you “no, there is no single solution that magically solves every complex issues”. Nothing fancier, just that, over and over, for hundreds of pages.
You should do in first chapter a summary of the yes book and the no book, and give the reader a way to keep the tally.
2md chapter same thing with next topic, and so on.
Readers will be 2x as powerful per chapter compared to any single book.
A book called 'Everything in Moderation being 500 pages is ironically hilarious.
Atomic Habits: How to use habits to build your own identity for the life you want.
12 Rules for Life: Follow these specific habits to take on the author’s identity for the life he thinks you must have.
Atomic Habits is pretty dope and makes a lot of sense
I found one book that actually helped me.
“Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail.
It’s six self tests you can knock off in half a day, then a list of the jobs that use the skills you already have.
I always thought I just hated working, then I found a job where I felt useful and productive.
When you can wake up on a rainy Monday and not hate going to work, you’ve solved most of your problems.
Well… help yourself.
I prefer the self-help books that insult my intelligence in the title.
“Self-actualization for complete dumbasses”
“How to Make a Fortune: Selling Fortune-Making Guide Books to Rubes” - Griff T. Runner
Hey, that’s the same person who sold me a bridge!
“How to sell tat to wankers” - Donald J Trump
I guess capitalism does offer choice?
/s
you’re joking, but “choice paralysis” is a real thing and actually makes people feel worse about their choices than if they had fewer options to choose from

On lemmy the answer to everything is “capitalism bad”.
