Self improvement is masturbation. Now self destruction…

The left side is the lifestyles people sell to you in a futile effort to ‘beat the grind set’ required by “line goes up, forever” capitalism.

The right side is min-maxing your output to actualize your rewards in that system, at the cost of your lifespan.

The only winning move is not to play.

I am gonna be honest. Atomic Habits and the like helped me immensely recover my life outside the work. I don't have lotsa energy, and I have no motivation whatsoever. It was always like that. But these shitass books, well, more excerpts from them actually helped me to get back some of my life. After that, I managed to start working on my mental health.

What I am going for is - don't bash something only because it's being sold. :( These are just tools.

I felt the Fight Club line was pretty clearly tongue i n cheek, but to be clear - I have nothing wrong with self improvement for yourself, with organic rationale.

The grindset lifestyle is super toxic though, and the wellness influencers are just yogis reskinned imo.
