I Flunked out !
I've constructed beds, but I never make my bed... I guess I've never been a real man. 
I don't understand that list, though. How is a list of random self-help cliches and book titles a measure of self-growth?

Yeah...it was actually some goofy advert ...I thought it was strange enough to screen grab and make a joke of. Nonsense...everyone knows real men don't eat pineapple on pizza and that's all one needs to know. None of this self help mumbo jumbo

Millenial beta-male bullshit.

18 books in 18 days?
The gist of make your bed. It was an extension of this speech that went viral.
Contrary to TMC, I seriously doubt a millennial would choose those books or pointlessly gender the list.
Thinking Fast and Thinking Slow is a great book. It's been a while since I read that so I'll confess to having forgotten a lot of what it's about. But it's basically a well written pop psychology and it's very much backed up by science.
I remember liking the Power of Habit. I have it as an audio book. It's got good solid information there backed up by scientific research.
The Power of Attraction to me is utter metaphysical nonsense. Obviously this way of thinking appeals to people and that's why the book is popular. There's literally nothing in that book that couldn't be summarized in a sentence.
Rich Dad Poor Dad has inspired some of my friends to start investing financial independence. I just think his notion that real estate is probably the best avenue to do it and you should never be an employee too dogmatic. That and his understanding of economics seems pretty suspect to me. Honestly it's not a terrible read if you want to get into real estate investing and have made up your mind not to work for others. But I could probably fit the constructive advice on there onto a small note card. I've read two books by the guy and may be conflating them together. But there really wasn't enough useful information in the two books together for me to understand why people love these books. They're hugely influential among real estate investors. I'd actually recommend reading them if you want to understand the mindset of many real estate investors as he's inspired a vast swathe of people to get into that sector.

Wait, those are books? I think I feel better, maybe.
Don't think me an idiot (wait, that is counterintuitive), I read and stuff. I don't know how to address the "real man" thing so I won't. What the heck were they advertising, books?

You know...not even sure what they were selling...maybe some "coaching program/system" . You know all that modern "promise Keepers" mumbo jumbo...(sorry if I've offended anyone..promise I'll try not to do it again...ha ha ha)
