Yes, please do a video on how the self help industry is an MLM!!!

[@SAVYWRITESBOOKS]

i'm so so so glad you did a full review!

[@BB-yn1nb]

I would be really interested to see a video of you explaining why you think self help is an MLM. I had never thought of it that way and have never heard the two compared so I am curious to hear more!

[@michalinamartacap2788]

It's such a joy to come across someone so articulate and wise. Thank you for being here!

[@thazualiuniqueen_19]

Its NOT boring and it is helpful Marie already said that her service and work are not for everyone She did a great job and her book shows it And i know that manyy people find it helpful too..not everyone I don't say its the perfect book But sure its worth the time and really valuable ❤️

[@chelsealiddypivtorak9282]

Hey Cam - I love your vids but wanted to offer a bit of constructive criticism. I think you like to keep your vids short but sometimes they lack the background knowledge that some viewers (me) might want. So I'm not familiar at all with Marie Forleo and have not watched her vids (I might be in the minority here?) so some more background info on who she is and why she is relevant would have been helpful for me. I felt the same way with the anti-mlm community video you did a little bit ago - had no background on what has been going on and the vid kinda jumped right in. Not sure if others feel this way but wanted to share my thoughts. Again, I love your vids and try to catch all of them but thought this might be something to consider for the future.

[@the_gstaad_girl]

Hi Chelsea, this is actually really helpful, thanks for letting me know. I think with the AntiMLM video, I was purposefully trying not to expose the people involved because it kinda hit too close to home on that one; this one, I had just filmed a collab with Savy and talked about Marie at length so I didn't want to repeat myself. But you're totally right, I should treat every video independently and that's on me. Sorry about that

[@namyatalakhtaria3579]

I did not resonate with any of this, I’m so sorry. It just doesn’t make sense. But anyways it’s futile to try to prove anything, since you’ve already decided that it is not worth buying. Everything is figureoutable has changed my life for the better, and many other people’s lives. I tried hard to understand the points you were trying to make, but just couldn’t relate. I also think it would have been better if you had used some thoughtfulness and compassion in the way you expressed your review on the book. But, all love and power to you sister, keep rocking!

[@peste2138]

I understand when you say this book starts with the premise that "you are broken". Actually, you are right about the self-help industry in this matter. I like the YT channel Better Ideas, I really do, I think he is entertaining and gives decent advice, his channel is really good, but the other day I felt weird seeing his tittles, they were something like "the reason you are wasting your life", "how you damage your creativity" and things along the line, and I felt weird, like.... no, I am not, but ok. But then, I think, this is the thing about the self-help industry it's like they create that feeling of perpetual inadequacy, and profit from that. I can not tell some of their advice aren't useful sometimes, but it's always good to be critical and grounded in some aspects.

[@nicoleouellette]

I ordered this on pre-order and I was also disappointed. I couldn't even finish it. 😔

[@the_gstaad_girl]

Can't blame you, reading it felt like such a laborious task

[@elisenieuwe4649]

I think responsibility in English is just a stupid word. It has two quite different meanings and I see constant confusion over it. It can mean being at fault and to blame or taking charge over something. When people say: you are responsible for your life, I don't think they mean it's your fault or that you are to blame or that you have a 100% control over everything. They mean that under the circumstances that you are under, you should make the best of it and take charge over the things you do control. And no, not everyone does that. Not everyone who is a legal adult is mentally an adult. I certainly did not take responsibility over my life for a long time. And that has reasons as well, obviously. People who get into a place like that often have trauma's. Just yelling at them to take responsibility doesn't work. Although, I noticed that therapists actually DO tell you that, just with different words.

[@the_gstaad_girl]

I responded to your comment below but will add this: if we're going to argue over the semantics of the word responsibility, Marie's point is still lost. I bet that such statements are used to sell something. Take responsibility, you're 100% responsible aka buy my course to feel like you did something and took responsibility. This is why we are seeing more and more inspirational gurus being sued, Dean Graziosi, Dan Lok, Tai Lopez. People are starting to realise they got scammed into spending THOUSANDS and never got their money's worth

[@snooganslestat2030]

Maybe the gurus should explain it differently then. They are the ones wanting to essentially tell people what they are doing wrong and how they should run their lives so they should be smart enough to know they need to clarify exactly what they mean.

[@snooganslestat2030]

Yes therapists USE DIFFERENT WORDS. For a reason.

[@rudolphmathumbu8227]

So If you criticize self help what do you call what you are doing? What is your industry? And personally I do not think Marie is wrong for putting her work into a book. And to think that there is something new that you can write a book about is to lie to yourself everything has been said already. So you wanted her to write a textbook cluttered with scientific facts? But we have enough textbooks breaking libraries. Which industry are you in?

[@missrelaxed3872]

You are 100% responsible for your life! This is the biggest lie ever! The book is not at all a solution , basically it was making me think of the problem and it is not at all right! I absolutely despise self help book! I had no idea about her joining an mlm until very very recently ! I loved your reaction on this!

[@elisenieuwe4649]

You are responsible for your own life, that's actually true. Who else is responsible for your life other then you? (After a certain age obviously.) It just doesn't mean that you can control everything. Or that if things go wrong it's your fault. That is where it goes wrong with people. You tell them 'responsibility' and they hear 'fault, but in this context I don't think people are talking about being at fault or being to blame. They mean that you should take charge over your life as far as you can in the circumstances. Someone gave a good illustration to explain this. If you have a house and you come back and someone broke into your house. It's your RESPONSIBILITY to call the insurance, make sure things get repaired, clean up etc. It's your house so obviously you are responsible for it. It doesn't mean that the break in was your FAULT. You are not responsible for the choice of the burglar. However, you are responsible to fix your house that was left in a mess due to the burglar. See the difference?

[@the_gstaad_girl]

Let's say you are born in a third world country and you're married off to an abusive man at the age of 13. You think "I'm 100% responsible for my life" and you run away. Then the police catch you and because you're a woman without rights to freedom, they return you to your abusive husband who continues to hurt you. Can you tell me whose fault it is Elise that things are like that?

[@the_gstaad_girl]

Then imagine a similar situation but you are in a progressive country: you marry someone you love, turns out they are abusive, you run away and go to the police. Instead of them taking you back, they go and arrest the partner for being abusive and you go on living a happy life, you start dating again, meet a wonderful partner and start a business that thrives.

[@the_gstaad_girl]

Now... both these women are responsible for their lives and how they turned out. Are they really 100% responsible though? Or can you see how the responsibility lays with the society they live in AT LEAST PARTLY?

[@missrelaxed3872]

@@the_gstaad_girl i 100 % agree with you in this Camelia! Btw I was born & bought up in a third world country (won’t say the name but it’s somewhere in South Asia ) and I moved to North America. When you said you are not 100 % responsible for everything ... my first thought was about girls who are forcefully married back home! I know many people & closed once who are pressurized to marry! And guess what ? Forget 13!!! people who are 30 plus they don’t have any freedom bcoz of the society. There is no where to go! What I hate is these gurus and motivational influencers come from a place of privilege and they talk like they have seen and experienced much more than any other people! But to be honest they are least experienced people ever! They don’t know how people live in under developed or developing countries! I much better off than many but I can’t just put down other people like these gurus are doing.

[@A2Zandeverything]

Nailed it! Great review, pls do the self help industry. I used to love hanging out in (as I called it back then) the Self Help Section of the Bookshop, now it just makes me want to up chuck. These Motivational Gurus out of mostly the US are so very effing annoying, priveiedged and cough cough of a pretty smilar culture - which I am too - & I reocognise my priviledge every day. Im just totally sick of middle aged Western type influencers selling a load of completely un researched crap. Primo Levi - THAT is called undertsand the Power to make changes in your own life & build a wall aoround your mind. Nelsonm Mandela Long Walk to Freedom, THAT is about real internal Freedom, & its those kind of books that made me sit up & pay attention. Now I have to listen to someone in their late 30's telling me to choose Joy, or someone who was a monk for 3 WHOLE years (uhhh yes very common in SE Asia & India, bloody hell a medical degree takes more work) telling me to just be happy every day. Mohammed Yunus The Banker to the Poor, Stephanie Dowrick, these ppl are REAL influencers & they have written books, & you can easily access their words, & then do the hard work on yourself. Waking up one day & thinking hmm I'm going to be a Self Help Influencer - does not thus make you a Self Help Influencer - it makes you an EGOMANIC who sees dollar signs.
