Why Society Doesn’t Want You to Succeed
Hint: It’s not necessarily anyone's fault
If you haven’t already, I’d like you to buy a copy of my third book, Real Help: An Honest Guide to Self-Improvement.
This blog post is chapter one of the book to give you an idea of what you’re in for when you read it.
It’s the best thing I’ve ever written and, at this point, dozens of people have told me it’s literally the best self-help book they’ve ever read.
I want you to read it because I genuinely think it can change your life, which is why I’m permanently lowering the e-book price to the lowest amount I can.
If you enjoy the book, pay it forward and buy a copy for a friend(s).

You’ve heard a chest-thumping guru or two say something along the lines of “the man is trying to keep you down!” They’re right, in a way, but this way of thinking goes much deeper than that platitude. In more ways than one, society is actually designed for you to be average. But it isn’t some evil conspiracy to keep you down.
