I totally understand that, but with nonfiction and self-help books like this, you don't really need as much repetition in my opinion. Repetition of the same point tends not to help as much here as it does in fiction. For example, I read Atomic Habits by James Clear a couple months ago. It had a ton of repetition, and in my opinion it was a huge simplification of "complex nuanced human behavior" (that point's discussed elsewhere im the thread). I would hold the book in higher regard if it had repeated itself less, which didn't help much, and instead expanded on its ideas by adding more nuance instead. If this was a summary of a fiction book, I'd agree, but in this context I don't agree with your argument.
