I'm dragging my feet about Reading/Listening to an assigned "No Excuses, by Brian Tracy."
I do not know if it is just me or my Asprgers, but I find "Self-Help" books perplexing... They sound and read oddly to me.
I find the use of "over" repetitive words grating. "Discipline" and "Self-Discipline" are being said about every thirty seconds, it is almost triggering.

That's because most Self-help books are perplexing. Many of them aren't based on real Science, and the genre is rife with people who want to manipulate others. And when they aren't doing that, they are overgeneralizing their own way of dealing with issues as if it works in everyone else's situation. And then there's the issue of over-relying on pseudo-science, especially the large amoung of pseudo-evolutionary-psychology stuff that just makes some evolutionary reason up as the basis for the way society or people behave. · 1 month ago
"Discipline" and "Self-Discipline" sound like it is a game of ping-pong where each word is the sound each paddle makes as it hits the ball. · 1 month ago
