I couldn't take the book seriously after the "you just need to improve 1% every day" as if improving 1% constantly was somehow attainable by mere mortals. If I can bench press 20 lbs today and improve 1% every day, I'll be bench pressing more than 700 lbs a year from now. Yeah, it doesn't work that way. If I read 10 pages a day, and improve 1% every day, by the end of the year I will be reading a 370+ page book every day! This is perhaps one of the dumbest things I've read. And that was supposed to motivate me!?
