Spoken like a true Peterson dick rider. If you want to take self-improvement seriously, you should consider being more open-minded. On the other hand, continue embarrassing yourself like this and you will get nowhere.

Ah yes, the traditional New Delhian surname “Hesse”.

I would not read self improvement books, for the most part these are bullshit designed to keep you on an endless treadmill of consooming "self improvement" content while keeping you as insecure as ever. At best these things made me try a habit for a week or two before dropping it.

I recommend reading books on the actual skills/aspects of your life you want to improve, and trying to also get hands on practice irl.
Also try to realistically asses you own strengths, weaknesses and character. You want to become a better version of yourself, not eternally fall short of some hypothetical unachievable "best" version that can only exist in your fantasies.

I liked some of the Peterson lectures but this book was just boring. It's evopsych stuff that was popularised better by Desmond Morris. Framing it as rules dumbs it down too much while also complicating the ideas. You want to understand the basics of evolution and derive "rules" from that.
It's interesting how much of the far left tranny type of thinking needs you to implicitly deny evolution or ignore it.

Fuck self improvement. Rich dad poor dad changed nothing for me but I now know where I went wrong.
