I've read it. Don't waste your time on people who excitedly want to talk to you about it.

Are any of those "habits" anything you couldn't have come up with yourself without shelling money for a book with a ****ty cover?

Driven automatically? What does that mean? Does that mean that their methods of being driven aren't useable by those who aren't driven automatically? Does that mean that you should serve food to those who are and never rise above your station because you were born inferior?

The only people that self help books help are the authors and their financial advisors.

How have these books helped you? Specifically and beyond you being a reformed boozehound?

You used the phrase "driven automatically". What does it mean?
