I don't think the article is worth reading.
According to the author, "Effort Shock" is the phenomenon of realizing something is a lot harder than you thought it was. Then you get depressed about it and give up. This explains failed blogs, failed diets, failed restaurants, etc.
The Karate Kid and other Rocky-esque movies ruined the world because the training montages make it seem like you can go from beginner to expert in a single Survivor song.
I was hoping the author would dig deeper into the subject, but he just repeated the same thing again and again and ended with a plug for his book.
- wvenable 17y agoGive him a break! Do you know how much more effort it would have taken to dig deeper into the subject?
- llimllib 17y agoNot to mention the ridiculous images interspersed every 2 paragraphs. How did those not bug anybody enough to post about it here? Am I 2? Do I need to be reading a picture book? Could he at least have chosen relevant images? No thanks.
- spc476 17y agoI think people keep forgetting that Rocky was already a fighter, and that he lost the main fight at the end of the film (although he did meet his goal).
