You really need to read a damn book where someone tells you how "you can do it! you just gotta think positive!!!" over 150 pages?
I get the point. Sometimes you need a fresh perspective. My problem is, you can get a "better perspective" on life, and everything therein, by reading religious texts, philosophy, history. Not some faggot who wrote a book about how they "got motivated to take on the world" because they started "being thankful for 1 new thing each day!!!" or some other such BS
It's pathetic because greater minds have addressed these very same issues, and proposed the very same actions. Only, they did it 1,000 years ago and didn't need their iPhone to help them "get there".
ALL the good advice I've ever heard come from a "motivational" speaker or book, is a broken reiteration of something that was said at least 100 years ago.
