Most personal development advice is pure garbage!
There, I said it.
I know it sounds ironic coming from someone who teaches personal development, but hear me out on this one:
The reason most personal development advice fails is because it doesn't tackle the ROOT of the problem. Instead, most techniques only deal with the symptoms that show up in life as a result of the root problem. It's like trying to cure a cough without treating the lung infection causing it.
Sounds absurd, right? But that's exactly what most people do when they try to fix their lives.

Let me give you an example of personal development advice that doesn't work.
Take procrastination:
Procrastination itself isn't the problem, which is why the common time management techniques don't work for most people. Procrastination is the symptom and the result of deeper issues like fear, self-doubt, and the belief that you're not good enough.
No amount of time management techniques can fix that.
So if most personal development techniques won't work, what will?
Simple:
Tackling the root cause!
It's a journey of introspection to find out what the TRUE causes are for the negative behavior you're experiencing in your life. Ask yourself why you feel anxious in certain situations. Ask yourself when you first felt that nagging insecurity. Ask yourself what you're afraid of most.
Find the roots and then work on solving the ACTUAL problem!
