So much waffle. It's written like an online recipe, where we get the author's life story before they actually get down to business. If you're writing an article titled "The Socratic Journal Method" consider discussing the Socratic Journal Method as your first point. In 2025 is it really necessary to tell people they can journal on paper or on a computer?
Yeah I got to the part where he mentioned dweck, who wrote what is possibly the worst psych book I’ve ever had the misfortune of reading, and figured that between a backstory with no relevance or interest to me and tacit promotion of ‘you can do it!’ pop psychologists, I’d be better off reading something else.
Yeah that bit of backstory is something I dont like personally but I get why its written in a motivation then exposition style. People do ask themselves is reading the rest of it worth it.
