    I am gonna be honest. Atomic Habits and the like helped me immensely recover my life outside the work. I don’t have lotsa energy, and I have no motivation whatsoever. It was always like that. But these shitass books, well, more excerpts from them actually helped me to get back some of my life. After that, I managed to start working on my mental health.

    What I am going for is - don’t bash something only because it’s being sold. :( These are just tools.

      I felt the Fight Club line was pretty clearly tongue i n cheek, but to be clear - I have nothing wrong with self improvement for yourself, with organic rationale.

      The grindset lifestyle is super toxic though, and the wellness influencers are just yogis reskinned imo.
