    That will get you further than a lot of this shit.
    Define "further"? I fail to see why reading about philosophy, sociology, or things to try to improve your workplace would be considered a negative.

    My friends rank a marathon through Zion somewhere. I couldn't believe the photos they were taking!

    Most of it is neither of those things. At best, someone makes a bullet list like I made, then fleshes each bullet inot a chapter with an anecdotal story and then a summary at the end.

    At worst, the bullet list is made up of bullshit you want to hear.

  3. Unless you’ve read the books you don’t really have a pot to piss in. Especially not by describing how books are written as some revelatory insight in to their worth.

    Its a general insult towards self help books and business self help books.

    Most of them are trash.

  5. The books you’ve specifically referenced above are about philosophy or sociology (unless you think all books are bullet list trash). Death by Meetihg was the business book, and a short one that is very specific with tactical advice. Not at all as you’re asduming.

  7. I didn’t really see a sociology book up there. I don’t consider Chomsky’s rambling sociology any more than I do economics, because they don’t come from a place of defined research. They are sort of....observations. Which can be sociological obviously but you need a method to the madness. People may disagree with me but that’s cool, I just think he’s kind of a hack.

    Like I said, they make a bullet list. Then dedicate a chapter to each, and back it up with anecdotal stories. And then there is a summary at the end of the chapter.

    And most of it is shit everyone already knows, or is easy to agree with.

    it would be like Josh writing a book on not being fat and chapter 3 is "don't be lasy. Now here is a bunch of stories on people that were lazy and fat, and other people that weren't lazy and not fat."
