Yeah I'm not sure about these... Chess players are weird, man. Isn't the king of all sports self-help books "The Inner Game of Tennis"? Or similarly, "The Mental Game of Poker"? And where's "The Art of the Deal"? That bad boy taught me how to aggressively exchange one of my knights for the bishop pair. Personally, I'd recommend Kafka to anyone who wants to get back into reading.
ALSO, my roommate read the first chapter of that "Atomic Habits" book and then left it sitting on the coffee table for six months. Sort of the saddest thing ever.

"The Mental Game of Poker" is actually pretty useful lol
Poker tilt is generally more relevant than chess tilt, granted there are exceptions

Okay I admit my mistake in previous comment. These books are not high quality, there are better ones. You are free to not start or finish the book if you do not like it. Itsa free world .
I would love to hear any good book recommendations that can improve my life and chess play in general! Both would be great:-)
There are thousands of books on chess, thousands of books on life, how to be better at this or that...
Being open minded to some books that I would not even touch, saved me and most importantly solved me, many problems in life.

From the list I've read "Essentialism by Greg McKeown" which I found to be really good!
I don't know how I feel about lichess publishing an article praising self-help books by pyramid scheme peddler Tony Robbins.
I'm sure whatever life lesson you can learn from these superficial introductions to personal philosophy can actually help people if they haven't learned the basic lessons elsewhere already, but I would say that the risk of falling into the sales funnel of an MLM outweighs this benefit.
I am not happy that this blog was posted on the front page of lichess. Not at all.
