Stand Firm: Resisting the Self-Improvement Craze

Brinkmann’s approach feels deeply personal yet universally applicable. I wonder what experiences or philosophies led him to emphasize 'standing firm' in modern life.

The book offers both reflections and actionable tips, which made me think about how to incorporate these concepts into daily routines. Did others feel motivated or overwhelmed by this approach?

The references felt carefully chosen to support the main message, but I’m curious about the research process behind selecting these particular ideas.
