I don't see how the book is "mostly unoriginal" or "the way it helps isn't what you'd expect." I REALLY don't see how this correlates to "The Game" at all, other than they are both self-help books of some kind. Everything you said about The Game could just as easily apply to any other book written about personal interaction.
I'm not trying to be harsh, but if there are connections between these things, I want to see them truly explored with claims that are substantiated (or at least explained).
- ahoyhere 17y agoA number of psychological studies have shown that any kind of change in behavior/attention direction - e.g. self-helpy type things - will promote change for the better... for a little while. The self-attention that all those processes require, the mindfulness, is key. Most of them can work because all of them require attention. It just doesn't last without dedication is all.
