Status Updates From Living The 80/20 Way: Prins...

I admire some of the workbook style pages. Adding interactivity to books is always good and makes the reader feel as though they are part of the material and makes it easier for them to connect with the ideas and concepts in the book.

It's a book about setting goals. This is the fourth book I read about setting goals that markets itself as something else and then creates a brand identity around itself in order to garner a following an extract as much money as possible from book readers.

Leading up to page 47, Richard gives more examples of 80/20 bullshit, color me surprised.

I hate it when books do that. What is the reason you buy a book in the first place? Because you find the cover interesting, right? Yet these self-improvement writers always insist on selling you their book in the first two chapters. I already bought the book, why are you still trying to convince me I need this book if I already paid money for it?
