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.

"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. "

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.

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

I mean you need to know what your problem is before you cna get help for it. Sometimes finding the problem is harder than finding the solution tho.

Brilliant idea – I’m gonna write a book the helps people figure out which self-help book they need!

EDIT: I’m still working on the title, but right now I’m leaning toward “Self-Help Yourself to Self-Help”
