Also, I don't believe that any specific habits can you make you successful. Person "A": spends 105% of his income Person "B": spends 85% of his income Which habit do you think will lead to greater success?
Spending more than what you earn is not a habit, it's a disorder. What I'm trying to say is that it does not work like that. If I were to follow all that is said in such book/articles, will I automatically become rich or successful?
If you're waiting for some advice or recipe to make you "automatically" rich or successful, you'll be waiting a long time. Nobody can guarantee that.
We can probably agree that there is a spectrum of habits that range from "good" to "bad". Practicing good habits doesn't create automatic success, just like practicing bad habits doesn't make success impossible, but there are statistical trends.
They are all useful points, but the book itself beats the horse until it is very thoroughly dead.
Is there something similar for "How to make friends and influence people"?
