Everyone is Selling Something it’s Sickening

And they say let me help you be more blah blah blah…

How I lost 18 pounds in 28 days and how you could too!

You click on that article and read 5 minutes of BS only to find that you have to buy that book or take the course to or join the workshop to find out the ‘secret’!

Each article is slowly beginning to feel like bait to a hidden product/course/workshop.

Many so-called self-help gurus are milking people’s gullibility and vulnerability in the name of self-improvement.

It seems like everyone is selling something in the garb of being helpful.

Earlier, they were selling tangible things. Then people got a little smarter. So now they are selling intangible things.

I am not against investing in ourselves. I myself have subscribed to the following services/premium memberships:

• Waking Up by Sam Harris
• The School of Life by Alain De Botton
• Readwise
• And of course the Medium membership

And I think these are justified. These add real value to my overall well-being.

But buying every course or membership to learn how to blah blah blah gets over the top. Why?

Because your body and mind already know the answer to many ‘Hows’.
