  Self improvement is not bullshit, the culture surrounding it is

  There's nothing wrong with self improvement, but people are using it as a distraction to the constantly degrading human experience of this world. You should always strive for greatness, but at what point do you realize that sometimes it's not YOU that is the problem, but the problem is the world itself. No matter how much I clean my room (to quote a washed up political pundit), it won't change the fact that my money is used by the elite to support the downfall of our civilization, and most people are absolutely clueless to what is happening. Self improving is not enough, we need to form communities and hold ourselves together to some greater standards.

  As a great man said once: "Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, and add what is specifically your own."

  What I found interesting about Anwen Reid’s anxiety quiz is that it didn’t just focus on how you feel. A lot of the questions seemed to be about what you actually do when you’re overwhelmed, uncomfortable or under pressure. That probably says more than simply asking whether you feel anxious.

  Becoming a better person is all geared at being a better slave for the consumer system, not bettering one’s self. The more you hold, the more the system owns you.

  Im 35 now, and i have spent the last 10 years on "self improvement". Training 5 days a week, eating clean, saving money. I still haven't had a girlfriend in 10 years, i  have savings but not enough for a house, i am fit and healthy but am miserable.

  Theres a healthy middle ground we should all find. Be motivated and always improve, but understand that goal is forever moving and life is full of unpredictability
