So many books in this genre have transformed my life. You learn so many new things, and then it's up to you to test them out and see results. Not everything is going to work. But that is normal to anything in life.

People saying that reading great books have had zero pragmatic impact on their life, makes me wonder whether they expected their life to change over night because they read a little bit of text. The hard part is having the open-mindedness and dedication after you know something, not whether something inherently has value or not.
