Opinions on Self Help Sub-Reddits?

[kindayellow]

I'm currently on Reddit, and subbed to a self help Reddit, I'm not very active on it, but from what I do see, most of the advice is good advice for achieving meaningless goals.

 

Those of you also aware of similar Sub-Reddits, what are your thoughts?

Hehe, that's mostly what self-help as a field/industry is. That's okay. It's mostly geared towards stage Orange/Green folks. There are still very important lessons there, just don't expect it to come anywhere near the depth of the stuff I teach.

Most self-help does not include a metaphysical, epistemological, or spiritual component. As a result, it cannot possibly be profound or an ultimate solution. But I'm still a big fan of even that type of basic stage Orange self-help. People really need it in our society. In fact, most people who follow me probably need it more than they need my metaphysical musings. Metaphysical stuff is quite advanced and assumes you've already handled other basic parts of life.

Of course Reddit is not a high-quality source of life advice. You should expect a lot of keyboard-jockeys there. For the best advice, read quality books.

Yeah I agree, that's how I started into self development through means of stage orange goals (mainly beauty), and then gradually started investing more time into deeper topics, and since you're here, thank you so much for the work you do! You've made a fantastic contribution to the earth that me and many other people would love to teach their future kids!:)

Leo's book list is solid for that @kindayellow which has sub-topics where you can focus.
