Meme or worth reading? I'm a degenerate coomer always fighting between the urge to coom and doing anything that could help me grow holistically
>>
all "self-help" books are memes, anon. only retards find "value" in them

Here, this should be what you're looking for, OP.

Even when these books have a few useful things to convey, they're full of incessant prattle to pad out the length. Read a summary and you'll get the same value out of it as if you'd read it. It's not like it has literary value.

it just looks like a collage of books that trigger you because you are obsessed with american politics

Why don't you read it and decide for yourself?

Just read the 5 sentence AI summary, unironically.

You’d have had to have read all of these to determine if they’re truly midwit. So if they are midwit, then you’re a loser.

It is one of the most basic self-help books out there. If you watch like 5 videos of the most generic self help YouTube videos, you will have a basic idea of the book. Not really worth it anymore.

This. About now, there's probably a hundred of self-help videos out there that reiterate the same thing this book has said multiple times.

This book was shilled a lot all over the internet. From what I can tell, the concept is similar go Tiny Habits, a much earlier book by some stanford prof. That one was quite popular too.
Imagine stealing a self-help meme, rebranding it, then paying third-worlders to shill it on reddit, 4chan, youtube, etc. Depressing.

It’s baffling to me that timeless principles like “develop discipline” and “control your environment” are always being rebranded and successfully monetized.

These books always feel like they're selling you on the claim from from cover to cover. Here's research, here's an anecdote, here's its application in le corportate world. I already bought the book I don't need be sold on it. I figured out the reason they do it is because they're all based on flimsy, barely passable science and they're trying to turn this handful of ambiguous papers into a panacea for modern life. The entire book is a sales pitch for the author's hypothesis so if it doesn't work for you then you're the problem. Not surprising that most of these guys turn out to be involved in scams and academic frauds.

Useless books for the goys.

Everyone is saying it's nothing new. But what does it actually say?

The thesis of atomic habits is very simple: if you want to get good at doing something or build a new good habit, you have to start by actually doing it, even if just a little bit at a time. This miniscule, atomic™ amount of effort compounds over time and in the long run makes a big difference between those who can do something and those who merely want to do something.

The rest of the book is a bunch of strategies to accomplish the above.

It's a fine self help book, especially in our age of convenience where we tend to (unconsciously) live more in the realm of fantastic speculation rather than the real world of practice

>>25291523
Just watch his YouTube video. It's faster and you get all the important bits of the book.

The book is for people who need to be sold on the idea that the key to improving their life is regular and consistent action
