Do you think the self-help industry is a scam?
Eric i love how you are sitting with your legs spread width and Mark is always looking into your eyes. Plus the interview is providing great content. 😇
It may be, depending on the specific type of content you consume. For example, it would be wrong to call out the "big boys" like Jim Rohn, Napoleon Hill or Dale Carnegie as a "scam", as their works are fairly original and provide true, great value for us, society, and even the field of social science (which is what I study). Yet, it might be a scam to you if you come across some books in the self-improvement category that merely restate the obvious without any groundbreaking arguments and thus generate any new insights.
The industry IS a scam and always has been. Religion was the first self-help industry and is still a scam thousands of years later
@@beldonhuang You describe "Jim Rohn, Napoleon Hill, or Dale Carnegie" as "fairly original".
Not really... well, except for Napoleon Hill, he made up all kinds of "original" content, also called "lies". Though lying itself isn't exactly original. It's immensely ironic that you cite Napoleon as a counter-point, given how much of his career was dedicated to scams.
As for those other guys, have you ever read the "Precepts of Ptah Hotep"? It predates Jim and Dale by more more than 4,000 years.
Unfortunately I have not,@@bennettlewis5495.
It seems like, from your reply that, you have a fairly decent understanding of the area of self-help, and I'm glad that your comment has filled in the knowledge gap I have in this field.
Thanks for the insight!
this is a really deep talk and deserve more view !
I only trust self-improvement that helps me better my life. There's so much fluff out there, so you have to go out and test things out for yourself to know what works and what's a make-people-feel-good for a while business
It's not even necessarily fluff. It's just that different people need different advice. Even the same people, but at different stages of life or at different stages of personal development need different advice. So the same advice can be both useless and useful at the same time.
That' why one needs to get out there and find the people/advice that is applicable to yourself right here and now.
@@MachoMaster💯
@@MachoMaster Well said
That's the whole point of it, isn't it? Try a new tool, see if it works for You and if it does, add it to Your toolbox and if it doesn't, chuck it... So i can see where You're coming from, but i want to offer that as a new perspective on it.
Came across the highlights and then straight here, big thanks!
Self improvement can have the opposite effect. It can destroy your self worth and confidence! It can make you feel like you’re never good enough! Tread carefully!
Thank you love from Pakistan ❤️
Enjoy the content very much.😊
I think Mark is one of the more real creators out there.
Self help industry is a ‘scam’. But it’s a business. And business takes advantage of the many, while the few get theirs.
I don’t think TV or Movies will ever be replaced by TH-cam though. Story told through those mediums will always be in demand. The styles will just change.
Common, he one them. Just better
Great book 📕
Great interview! I appreciate your work, thank you 😊
Mad!!! Thanks a lot for doing this 😊
Thanks for this video. Great insights about audience building and self-improvement!
I watched Gary Vee before his youtube (wine library) and read Mark Manson from 2008 (post masculinity). And I'm Russian, born in a small town.
Maybe trying a bit poetry could help, since its main feature is not about helping but just enjoy
SUPER SUPER SUPER GOOD !!!
🔥
Content Moat will be a standard business concept in 10 years
Self-help is still better than watching porn
When you have Mark Manson on the show exposing 90% of your past people on your show/ How do you put one of those phonies on after him?
Those chairs look so uncomfortable it’s distracting me
They look comfortable
Haha, passport bros being "geo arbitragers"
