You're my spirit animal sir/madam.

Just another blog post telling people how to live by a person whose whole existence revolves around that process.

And yet, inexplicably, this drivel is somehow popular. I guess clueless people feel like they could learn something while not realizing that author himself doesn't know what he's talking about.

Motivational seminars are huge business. I was reading an article the other day about the whole "improve your self esteem" market which swept the US in the 80s/90s.

It's fascinating to me as a Briton because we don't have such a culture.
