I find this particularly true for the "163 Ways to Pursue Excellence" book. I haven't read it, but the idea is laughable. Am I supposed to be "pursuing excellence" while I sit on the toilet with this "very compelling and browsable book"? It's worthless - just a way of providing people with their small fix of self-fulfillment one paragraph at a time by giving a "helpful hint" on how to improve their lives.

Sorry for the excessive use of quotations, I just wanted to emphasize the bullshit.
