a-fvckin-men, brotha. 🙌

didn't need to read much beyond the first paragraph to agree here. lol. oh man, the self-help cult. what a fascinating phenomena of capitalistic perversion enticing people into the hamster-wheel of "constant and never-ending improvement." so much to say. (perhaps this is another ping on the book idea I started 18 years ago). you do well to frame some of it succinctly as you have here.

veering to an aside... if you're ever spend any time on Instagram, I highly recommend following Healing From Healing - one of the most brilliant, hilarious accounts that shines light on much of the self-help & spiritual pop trend madnesses. quality entertainment, with some great philosophical threads weaved in that somewhat resonate with parts of the themes you graze on here.
