I’ve been thinking about this article about self-improvement lately. It’s raw, full of swearing and masculinity, and it reminds me of Mark Manson’s style, which resonated with me when I was a high-schooler looking towards my future. In the right dosage, I think energy like this is good. It provides motivation through clarity and honesty, instead of the typical “you can do anything! yeah, go you!” self-help shtick. It’s brutal, and brutally true.
