Antidepressants.
Self help or improvement books and programs. Figures “fuck all that crap they’re just ass holes trying to make money off stupid weak minded people, I got it all figured out”
Had to attend a week long program for work that was super expensive that comes with a certificate… I figured the company was paying for the course, the flight, hotel, high end restaurants every night and I’ll have a fancy certificate to slap on my resume when I ditch this company and go to the next job. Why not try and keep an open mind this time? Maybe it’ll make things more interesting so I won’t die of boredom while I go through the motions.
I’m glad I did, the course itself wasn’t life changing but I did take pieces away from it that I felt improved my acuity in my field so I figured why not look up some books to read. Last book I read was Harry Potter 20 years ago so I figured actually reading a book, from start to finish, in that order, would give me a slight feeling of accomplishment.
So I read a few and and felt a wave of realization, that it wasn’t just all bullshit, that it wasn’t just publishers trying to make cash off idiots. I knew I “didn’t have life fully figured out” but I felt like I was doing just fine so fuck self help, I’ll stay on the current course.
Now, I wish I would’ve read these books and adopted this mindset back in college or even high school, wish someone would’ve sat me down and told me “keep an open mind and read the damn books, you spend five hours a day playing video games you can read a fucking book”.
