Basically every self help book or essay has a similar structure of enumerated platitudes and some huge assumptions about what success actually is and how it is achieved baked in. They are also almost never applicable to anyone, not even the person who wrote it. They’re often more reflections of what they wish were the secrets to their “success,” when in fact it’s mostly luck. Instead they distill some personal philosophy mixed with cultural norms of success, dress it up with confidence, and throw in some twists of their own, and sell it as “this is how I did it, you can too.”
Seriously if you’ve read a few you’ve read them all. It’s like programming languages - once you’ve learned a handful the next one is about spotting the differences.
