I think this is exactly what people think of when they criticize self-help books - small concepts that anyone could reach with the most minimal of research, and, in some cases, outright fabrication of fact. Rather than do the research, those same individuals turn to the SparkNotes of Psychology - it's a shame this one is so highly rated.
There are nuggets of inspiration, sure, but you could probably get the same effect from reading about Stephen King's work ethic or watching an art reel on YouTube.
The basis of tying everything to human procrastination and willpower isn't a new idea, and the format that this is written in makes me think I'm reading a message board where someone suddenly thought they found out that the secret to hustling is just to work harder. No kidding.
