The Motivation Myth

Such a disappointing read. The whole premise of the book and what the author advertised about the book made it seem like an interesting read, sadly, it wasn't what was advertised to be.
Author haven't outgrown himself from being a columnist writer to a book writer. It was very frustrating read, author would quite often, mention that he would detail about something in the coming chapters (“Which I will talk about in the coming chapters”), it made it hard to for me to comprehend and make connections about what the author was talking about. He frequently contradicted himself on the things he talked about. There was no proper structure as to how to supply the content to the readers.
The author himself told in the beginning that he dislikes any horse-shit self-help book and this book wouldn't be one, but this book turned out to be one. I expected something about motivation and a philosophical approach to motivation. First chapter indeed was quite good compared to the rest fluff. After the first chapter it turned into the “horse-shit” advice and self-help content which was for the most part, very obvious. It wasn't even useful for the most part.

There wasn't much here that was new to me, but it was still worth reading. The messages that the book delivers are simple but so easy to ignore. It's a nice two-fer if read with [b:Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones 40121378 Atomic Habits An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones James Clear https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1535115320l/40121378.SY75.jpg 62221762] by James Clear.The second half got kinda dull and repetitive though. I mean what does opening a business bank account and how to deduct expenses have to do with motivation and mindset? That whole section should've been cut by the editor. My literature professor would've red-penned that whole chapter out with a comment that it's not answering the essay question! (although I'd probably not have been able to read his comment as his handwriting was atrocious). Yes, I mean you, Roger Keys.
