Reply to Of the books you've shelved on Goodreads, which has the highest & lowest average rating? by ChaDefinitelyFeel

Highest: Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson at 4.75. I gave it a 4 but this series is definitely one of my favorites thus far.

Lowest: Dream Psychology: Psychoanalysis for beginners at 3.37. I gave it a 3, don't recall too much as this was over 10 years ago but I was into dreams and lucid dreaming and all that fun stuff

Reply to Which self-help books have you read that ACTUALLY helped you? by [deleted]

7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Atomic Habits

Tools of Titans

Art of Living

I read a lot of what's classified as Self Help but I don't really think any 1 book is magically life changing. I think many books offer many views on something and there are usually bits and pieces I personally find helpful, insightful, and/or useful for myself. I take small pieces away from some books, try things,discard what I don't find valuable. I'm sure some of these things may be helpful to others in their own situations.

I think the varying perspectives and how people approach problems is in itself interesting even if I don't agree or prefer that approach

Reply to People give George R.R. Martin grief for the delay of "The Winds of Winter," but imagine trying to write a continuation of your series after HBO already wrote their own ending to it... by SAT0725

He had like 8 years between the last book and the end of the show.

I had really liked the books but I'm not holding my breath for them to ever get finished
