This is a great article, touching on an issue not a lot of people seem to be talking about today. I wonder if praising failure and the idea that the journey is the destination contributes to the way people consume self-help books and videos endlessly instead of actually trying to accomplish a goal.

Self help no doubt has helped many people, but I've noticed that a lot of people use it the wrong way (but it's the "right way" for the actual self-help creators, who really love it when you keep coming back for more).

Anyway, just some food for thought. Great work!
