My Self Improvement

So Tir asked:


How do self-help authors avoid lawsuits for infringement (and such) when the material is always basically the same stuff. Is it the re-hashing of stale material that makes it somehow legally ‘pure’ to sell? Go deep and win points.

I have heard that a sponsor for a self-published book is another way to get your book advertised and out to the world faster. Is this true?

maddball26 asked:


what do you all think of that? I mean, there have been studies done and published that say that having good/high self esteem dosent help us or make us any better at all.
That really confuses me and sounds so confusing.

I’ve been reading books on self help and on how to control anxiety. I have some social anxiety and I’ve been trying to apply everything I am learning about how to go about changing my self image etc…

But how do I convert the words on the page to improvement. The problem is that by reading something that it just doesnt become gospel and become stone in your head. I still have those negative thoughts and no matter how hard I try to get rid of them they always resurface no matter how many books I may read.

So My question is, how do I take what I read in a self help book and make some permanent change in my behavior.

Is affirmations the only way?

I own an older trombone (conn director w/ bach 6.5 mouthpiece) and I want to learn how to play without signing up for lessons. What is the best self help guide/book to help explain slide positions/notes and the alike to become a great trombone player?

Preferably a 3-6 month martial arts/mental strength training facility. Something so physically and mentally demanding that it would produce a SIGNIFICANT change in my personal habits and self-discipline. I’m in my mid-30s, lazy, and can’t put together enough consistent effort to achieve anything worthwhile. Time is running out. A potentially meaningful life is being wasted. I need radical change and I need it now.

I have seen this stuff out there and many people I know are very distrustful of it. I kinda don’t blame them but I was personally thinking about looking at some of that stuff to try and understand my sub conscious side of myself better.

I strive everyday to be excellent. I work out…get my lessons together,try to be the first one at work, and I am going to grad school in the fall…..even though I will be 31. This is not just a list of my accomplishments. I want to know if anyone out there feels the way I feel about self improvement. If you do, let me know.
