Most self help content is unhelpful to say the least. There are a lot of useless phrases that are meant to motivate and encourage people, but I think they are detrimental in The long run. I think they tend to produce the opposite effect. I am here to challenge the hustle culture and the motivational quote mindset. Not to necessarily destroy it, but rather to reform it. I think that it is good to be encouraged, motivated, and hard-working.
However, as with all things in life, there are no short cuts. Lasting motivation cannot be acquired through meaningless phrases and overhyped speakers. Being motivated is more than just feeling excited to get your work done. Contrary to what all our modern motivational speakers would have you understand it to be. After all, it is easy to sell a feeling with a wrong understanding of how motivation works. You will go on spinning your wheels. You will always be chasing after the next talk, the next self-help book, or the next game-changing tactic. I think this pattern will ultimately end up with you being depressed and certainly unmotivated.
I want to challenge our modern understanding of motivation. Do away with the worthless aspects of the Self-Help genre, and expose misleadingly ambiguous quotes and mindless gurus.
