Gee, I wonder why. And to be honest, my main issue is mainly just how insanely vilified the concept of self help actually is. Whenever I hear it mentioned, it is either "They are all trying to scam you out of all your money", or worse "muh alpha men".
I don't get it. Why is it so wrong, that "12 rules for life is only repeating the most common sense topics" when noone is actually living up to them? The point is to make you question aspects of your life, and inspect if you can fix them. Yet, so many people get triggered to rage from the suggestion.

I guess that is one thing about autism. I am not sure there were any crabs in my bucket to begin with :D
@LukeAlmighty we are all in the bucket. Getting success exposes other peoples failures. That is why they hate successful people. Nothing personal just human nature.
@MK2boogaloo
Thank you for wasting my time with that post.
Yes, I did hear the good news of Jesus Christ ressurection.
No, Pointing at a tree, telling me it's a proof of god's existence didn't change my mind.
Yes, the 34th recomendation of the Bible this year was truly important for me to know the book exists.
@boloros
I couldn't possibly call The Secret a self help book, since it is purely about magic and universe manipulation. Therefore, it falls under "esoteric literature", and that entire section is a crime against humanity :
Yes, burning books is a good thing
@LukeAlmighty because self help involves thinking for yourself, not blindly trusting authorities. not doing this questions their world.
@LukeAlmighty crabs in the bucket mentality
