Thanks for the comments. I respect your concerns around digital rights. There are obviously benefits to pushing through Amazon as well. If you buy the book via Amazon and then forward the receipt to winningisntnormal@gmail.com, I'm happy to provide a PDF.
As for your point about "I" - also great and one I don't address enough.
1) I do cite ideas and thoughts by other people as well as research by peer reviewed journals in the book.
2) That said, most of the book is about my experience. Here is why: I am not in your head. I have not lived your life. I can only observe other people from a far distance - look at what they say and do, guess their intentions and understanding, etc. The only thing I can definitively say with certainty is what I have learned and what i have experienced.
3) I think self knowledge is extremely important and that you (and everyone) should seek to appreciate how you differ from other people. And this filter all advice through the lens of "I'm like this, they are like that, therefore I should modulate the advice in this way". If you read my book, you get a fairly good sense of how I think ans approach things. Only you know how to modulate my suggestions to your own life and your own goals.
There few universal truths when it comes to getting shit done. What I hope to do is to illuminate ONE path, warts and all, in hopes that others can navigate their own journeys.
