I have always had a love-hate relationship with self-help books. I love reading the content created by self-help gurus, but sometimes, nothing sticks to me.

I learned that I need to have a suitable state of mind to lecture such content and to be capable of adopting the advice I receive. Otherwise, I just exercise my reading.

Let’s shift the attention on you now. Do you read motivational books? How do they work for you?

Why I think self-help content does not work for you…

You Don’t Have the Desire To Evolve

If you tell everybody that you want to be a better person and worker is not mandatory that you want that thing, with your heart and soul.

Self-development means also hard work. This is a good reason why your brain can start to mimic the desire to evolve, but you are not willing to do the required sacrifices.

You can’t be better unless you get obsessed with being better. Without 100% commitment, you will just sabotage the process and make things difficult for you.

You Don’t Trust The Process
