Would any of you have bought it? I probably might have, I wonder what more there could be to it other than what Leo told Bob

Nothing. Other than just "make small goals and meet them one at a time" repeated over and over but phrased differently. Further proof that Leo is a dick, taking common sense and dressing it up as a novel, complex idea.

What an oily, insincere prick.

Well in that case *I* could've wrote Baby Steps and I'm not even a doctor!

You corrected his grammar three years after his post?

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

You need a comma after "written", and you should learn to capitalize.

Also, the irony of someone exclaiming they could've written something, without being EVEN able to write the word 'written' is so thick, it's a sin to not mention it in your post.

You could also benefit from learning punctuation (especially when you're trying to actually correct someone) - it makes the text so much more legible.

"You corrected his grammar three years after his post? "

What does this have to do with anything? Are you saying there's some kind of statute of limitations for corrections? An error is an error, and if it's visible after three years or six years or a googolplex years, why shouldn't it be corrected? It's a public forum, the messages are not only for the benefit of one individual poster, they're for the benefit of ALL people, and therefore, your post is illogical.

What kind of timeframe, in a basically 'timeless internet', would you impose upon corrections, and why? This kind of limitation-imposition is completely arbitrary, but I'd like to hear YOUR rationalization for your illogical desires to control other people's free speech..

Definitely not, you don't even know how to use a comma, or write the word 'written' instead of the wrong choice, 'wrote' here.

You, of all people, could NEVER have written ANY book, let alone THAT book.

You don't have to be a doctor to know how to write simple english correctly.

Well, there would be different exercises, I'm sure, in the book. Think all those motivation books that have a lot of different things in them. Maybe Leo gave some examples of former patients and how the book helped them.

I think there could be some merit to it. The part that I remember most is when he told Bob something like "When you leave my office, don't think about everything you have to do to get out of the building. Just leave the office. Then when you get to the hall, deal with the hall."

I tell new employees that I'm training at work, all the time, that they shouldn't feel overwhelmed or stressed out by the "big picture." That's MY job, and my burden. All they need to do is focus on completing the task in front of them properly, and when they finish, then focus on the next thing. Seems to really help them.
