i read a self-help book every day for a WEEK -- now i'm more confused than ever

Atomic Habits by James Clear has retained its title for me as the best self-help book i've ever read. It's not pretentious, it's just about how small, tiny changes to the systems of our lives can really improve the way that we live and i thought this was wonderful.

In november i read Drive by Daniel H. Pink and this is a book about motivation and how it needs to be intrinsic, it needs to come from within. It is a little bit repetitive, it could have made the point in 50 pages but it does it in 250 instead.

It feels a bit like intellectual snobbery, like you're not meant to understand. It's meant to prove how clever the author is, so for me personally it wasn't my cup of tea but for you it could be your whole kettle!

I would say, this is just okay. Although there are some good practical tips about investment and that kind of thing, they're not really practical tips i can do in this video because we don't have the time or the funds for investment, so that's that on that.

Overall, this was worth my time this was worth reading. I don't think you should take everything he says completely literally and try not to be insulted when he basically calls you stupid.

I did have plenty of reservations about a self-help book that is written in the style of fiction but actually it's really memorable because i can think of every step that those characters took, because it's a linear narrative! But equally this book is about 300 pages and the actual useful content could be condensed down to about 30 or 40.

Of course i would marry Marie Kondo! These are tips that are a little bit wacky but they keep you on your toes and you want to keep coming back to them because they're comforting and their heart is in the right place.

This book will just make you delusional and it is so full of its own self-importance that it is just horrible to read.

It has its moments but ultimately i don't think this is a book i would necessarily recommend.
