Personally, I’m a self-help junkie and implementing (even just) one to two ideas in these types of books have taken me miles away from the person I used to be.

At the end of the day, you get what you give. There’s absolutely such a thing as a healthy level of skepticism, but reading a book with cynicism is a waste of your time.

If efficiency is your issue, then invest in Blinkist or Headway.

But if you’re curious about change and human behavior, I highly suggest reading the Courage to be Disliked.
