Russel: I get that as well

I think the advice is great and I have no doubts that it works. One thing I'm a littel sceptical of, though, is that while your mind will easily absorb all of the ideas, you'll only end up implementing some of them into practice. With university lectures and litterature there's no problem but with self-help material, doesn't it risk turning you into a self help addict? I mean, sometimes it is beneficial to stay with a self-help idea, considering its posssibilites, before moving on to the next.
