Michael Thompson

Michael Thompson, an American writer living in Spain, shares the no-holds-barred feedback he received from his European friends after sending them his self-help articles. Their unfiltered, brutally honest comments reveal a stark contrast between the European disdain for the self-help industry and the American obsession with it. Highlights include mocking the cliché of 'finding yourself' through travel, the emphasis on money and wealth, the perceived absurdity of productivity hacks, and the perceived patronizing tone of many self-help writers. Their sarcastic and humorous remarks shed light on cultural differences and provide a refreshing counterpoint to the often preachy world of self-help.
