How does that work? You're both rejecting a book for having a title which you feel is misleading and for the content which you assume the title would indicate if it were not misleading.
That is literally judging a book by it's cover.
- scott_s 18y agoNo, it's judging a book by the analysis many people have given.
- GHFigs 18y agoHow so? It sounds more like confirmation bias. If I told you (in more words than I use here) that your previous description of the book sounded like bullshit on a stick compared to the book I read about implementing data-driven improvements to workflow effectiveness, would my analysis count? Or is the title and cover still too off-putting to consider?
- axod 18y agoIf you told me concrete things that you have done as a direct result of reading the book, that have improved your life, then sure, I'd take notice. FWIW, building a self sustaining income isn't that hard. Buying and selling traffic and making a nice profit in the middle is simple to do, and once set up, it takes nothing to maintain, but it's a bit soul destroying and boring TBH.
- scott_s 18y agoI'd consider it. But the subject of the book isn't interesting to me, so there's a lot to overcome. At this point, I'll probably pick it up in a book store, flip through it, and read a few passages.
