Inspirational Writing Sucks
Its not about the nail
Are you tired of the pieces that show you where you’re going wrong in seven bullet points? I’m sure you must have noticed how, even when such an article is impactful (and possibly brightens your day), it becomes like another button in your button drawer. Maybe that’s what writers are aiming for, for it to be potentially useful but more than likely just another button, but I doubt that. The only book or article I’ve read which I can say has impacted my life significantly is No More Mr Nice Guy (NMMNG)
I lent my copy of the book and didn’t get it back and I’m perfectly happy with that. It’s a little like a pair of jeans that might have fit me when I was 18. Even if I starved myself to get into them I wouldn’t wear them to go out. I’ve outgrown it and moved on. I found that book just as my marriage had broken down and it spoke directly into my situation as if the author could read my mind. It didn’t fix anything yet is was invaluable in making sense of the world I found myself in.
