Unpopular opinion: the 7 minute phone call with my old landlord did more for me than 2 years of self help books
Everyone says big change comes from therapy or books or some retreat. Mine came from a 7 minute call with my old landlord Ray in November 2021 after I moved out of his duplex in Akron. He said "You always pay late but you never once asked for a break, that means you think asking is for weak people." I sat in my car in a Kroger parking lot for 20 minutes after that. Which conversation stuck with you way more than any book was supposed to?
Went through the same thing with my old boss Donna when she told me I apologized too much for things that were not my fault. Try writing down what the person said and reading it back a week later, because the first time it just bounces off you but later it hits hard. Honestly that one line did more than a whole shelf of books I never finished.
