Agreed which I why I would love to see more anecdotal evidence or stories supporting these messages. And by anecdotal evidence, I really mean n=1 stories not some controlled group studies.
Right now it feels like everyone from a lifestyle youtuber to a VC are telling us that _this_ is the way but I don't hear/see enough people turning their lives around or achieving the so-called "impossible" just because they adopted some good habits. Basically the ratio of people striking gold to people selling shovels seems too low to me.
- kamaal 5y ago>>I don't hear/see enough people turning their lives around or achieving the so-called "impossible" Makes perfect sense because hard things are hard to do, I'd like to believe a lot of people quit mid way. You will never hear from them, those that succeed become the few exceptional cases no wants to believe in because, they can't imagine themselves taking all the trouble like the drop outs to get to where the exceptions are. >>Basically the ratio of people striking gold to people selling shovels seems too low to me. Yes that's exactly how its supposed to be. Plus, the point of habits isn't to achieve goals, but have a better system in life to do things.
