Gee, I wonder why. And to be honest, my main issue is mainly just how insanely vilified the concept of self help actually is. Whenever I hear it mentioned, it is either "They are all trying to scam you out of all your money", or worse "muh alpha men".

I don't get it. Why is it so wrong, that "12 rules for life is only repeating the most common sense topics" when noone is actually living up to them? The point is to make you question aspects of your life, and inspect if you can fix them. Yet, so many people get triggered to rage from the suggestion.
