Casi hasta prefiero un libro de autoayuda antes que esta bazofia. Es una basura en toda regla, con un texto sin sentido, sin pies ni cabeza, y sin pizca de gracia. Pero es que esto ni es crítica, ni es inteligente, ni está bien escrito.

Así que una crítica mordaz de estos libros me atraía. Veamos, no creo en los libros de autoayuda, me parecen en general una memez que sólo ayudan al autor y al editor, y en los que una simple idea por todos conocida y que se resumiría en una frase o dos se estira hasta la eternidad para llenar un libro.

Que hay mucho que leer como para perder el tiempo, aunque sea poco, en estupideces. Su corta extensión terminó de decidirme.Īun así, al cabo de media hora de lectura, cuando ya llevaba una cuarta parte, decidí abandonarlo. Leí la sinopsis, y eso de que fuera una parodia crítica de los libros de autoayuda me hizo pensar que podía dar para un rato entretenido. ¿Por qué lo empecé, para empezar? Bueno, lo vi por ahí y me hizo gracia el título. If you enjoy a LOT of tongue-in-cheek, light-hearted dialogue with no purpose, then you may enjoy this.

It is absolutely amazing, in a 92-page book to say that about 75% of it was padding. Darrel reflects on this point in the final pages where readers may be expecting some revelation about cheese but its only purpose was to achieve book sales and get us to the final page. There is no connection between the two books other than the name. Most likely the title I Moved Your Cheese which is a satirical look at the popular self-help book “Who Moved My Cheese,” draws attention and invites us to give this book a read. It seems that the biggest joke, which I have to give Darrel Bristow-Bovey credit for, is on us who have paid for the book in money and/or time. Of course, humour is subjective, but when you are bombarded with sarcastic facetious wit on every page, which runs off on crazy tangents, it is just bewildering and becomes tedious. Don’t waste any energy, let the deception rule. Is it just a satire? Is it reverse psychology? Is it a metaphor with a deep meaning of life, something that when we interpret it correctly is going to bring such clarity to our spiritual, emotional or financial wellbeing? Does it have hidden gems of information? So what is the secret, the lesson, the moon shot? Misdirection! Create an illusion that you are more interesting, more capable, highly sought after or wealthier than you actually are. … Self-help books are damaging to the self-esteem.” The strap-line on the cover says “This is the self-help book for people who want to take no steps at all.” So already I’m confused. The opening lines of the introduction are “This is not another self-help book.
