>read 2 first chapters of the book
>no new info
>every second word is DESIRE

Is this a book for stupid people or would it be worth to continue reading?

yep it's shit. but then again so are carnegie's books (mostly because they are so dated they hold no relevance to 2016 society)

>>1144232

Jeez watch you language, there are kids here

The problem with these books is not the content, it's what (most of) the people that read them do with it.

They visualise themselves in the situation described, get the "feel-good" reward of progress without making actual progress, and hop from book to book to get the same rewarding feeling, and never implement anything that would change their lives.
They just think reading enough self-help books will magically make opportunity and money fall out of the sky, like>>1144297's teacher.

If you're not going to use them to implement new habits, self-help and how-to books and guides are worthless.

No. Pretty much the first thing the book says is to quit your job so you have no safety net and now have a gun to your head forcing you to do or die. It says this is essential. Burn the bridges behind you.

That's a poor refutation of the book given that your teacher didn't even follow Chapter 1.
>>
>>1145526
This book is great for younger people to imo.

>>1145430
>non-fiction

top kek

quitting your job doesn't seem like a good way to get rich to be honest

>>1144232

There are two kinds of boomers - rich and retarded.

The book is for the ones who are actually rich but don't think they are.

Law of attraction too is very believable when everything you have was basically handed to you anyway.
>>
>>1146771
I guess I understand the meme that boomers had everything handed to them.. but what I don't get is why millennials think they got it so tough. I mean really, you guys all live in the first world I assume.

Maybe it's harder in some ways than it used to be, but you have options today that weren't even on the table before. It some ways the possibilities are just wide open. How about you quit fucking whining, Jesus.

While we're on the subject of books, what's some /biz/ recommended literature?
>>
>>1145416
This is a good post. Information is useless if you don't do anything with it.
>>
>>1146778
Shut the fuck up. You millennial haters are way more fucking obnoxious than any millennials I've met. We get it, you don't like millennials. Go write a book about it or fuck off, nobody cares.
>>
>>1145727
It's a great indication of the kind of people that do find value the book
>>
>>1146821
What did I push a button or something? Did I invade your 'safe space', I'm sorry..

That's the first time I've ever said anything about millennials, ever. I've just been reading the same shit a lot lately about millennials got it tough, so I decided to comment. It's not a goddamned agenda, you sperg.

Does being a 4th grade teacher seem like a good way to get rich?

>>1146850
>anecdote about one loser who bought the book
>everyone else who bought it must be the same

Why did you even post?
