thank you sir noel .
Yeeej another self help bs blog article. 3 things you should do, 5 things for a better sex life, 12 steps for more friends, 4 notes on a better life, 9 rules for chess.
like I said in another one of those post. Here is the 11 things you find in all those bs books.
1. Take one small step.
2. Change your mental maps.
3. Struggle is good. Scary is good
4. Instant judgment is bad.
5. Remember the end of your life.
6. Be playful.
7. Be useful to others.
8. Perfectionism = procrastination
9. Sleep, exercise, eat, chill out. Repeat.
10. Write it all down.
11. You can't get it all from reading.
It's what the famous Dagestani philosopher Khabib Nurmagomedov said: This is some number one bullshit.
What i've learned is that chess masters read shitty books that follow a very similar formula for selling more books.
Basically it boils down to: develop self-discipline and a reliable way to measure progress where you don't jump to the wrong conclusions, and/or get a coach.

It sounds like you would greatly benefit from some self-help books. Not chess related ones.

Nah thank you. I worked in a book store for over a decade. I've seen hundreds of these books, read a couple for review purposes and even interviewed some authors.
Good for them they make some money but it's just copy-paste for every book since Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. And that guy was on drugs (opium) his whole life.
