[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious how you fill a book with this. Feels like a paragraph.[/quote]

I feel that way about 90% of self help or parenting books.  They take one concept that can be easily explained on the book jacket and somehow string it out for hundreds of pages.  I guess that’s a talent.

OTOH, sometimes it really helps to see something obvious spelled out that way.  I remember when the book “He’s not that into you” came out — I never read the book but I remember wishing that the concept had been promoted more earlier in my life, as it ran totally contrary to everything I’d seen in movies and in music etc., which was all about pursuing guys and making them realize that they actually loved you all along.  My whole life might have been different if I had realized in my 20s that this was not, in fact, a thing and was actually more dangerous than the “waiting for Prince Charming” myth.  So sometimes we need people to tell us something that is obvious.  So I guess if this helps some people accept some very basic obvious truths that will help them lead happier lives, that’s fine by me.  It’s different than snake oil sales because the advice they are selling actually seems helpful.[/quote]
