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.

@LukeAlmighty self help is cool when you find something that actually works so that you can go on the right path. The greatest self help books are the Bible and other philosophical books, so I suggest doing that if you don't want to get grifted.

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.

@LukeAlmighty I was just telling you the best self help book that ever exist, coming from someone who needs a lot of self help just to wake up from the bed is a good thing no?

Even if you don't believe in Christianity, just read it anyway, it has a lot of sound advice.
