Not true. You gain instantly 200 Elo points and defeat your opponent in 8 moves after reading them.
So many biased commentators. I am pretty sure 90% of you don't even know what these books are about and you never tried to apply any of the advice.
The truth is many highly successful people in various areas in life do things like written in these books.
Tony Robbins might be a bit stretch, because of his mlm bs and affirmation but its not really that bad.
@OnlyDivo I agree with you man some of the comments get so political over this at the end of the day GM Avetik is only trying to help us improve in chess and in life and he wouldn't recommend these books to us if he didn't read it himself and understood the quality of these books.
Treating life as a zero-sum game where there's "winners" and "losers." It's a bit warped of a mindset, really. When we are all dead and gone, not one of us will be remembered for our six-pack abs, our historical inventions nor our failures - we will all be equally irrelevant in the eyes of infinity. Name one person that existed 100,000 thousand years ago... my point exactly.
Haha Tony Robbins, seriously?!?
What the hell is that list? Is there any selection in what is posted here?
Lichess should probably implement vote-bot detection because everyone hates these stupid self-help blogs that are obviously being gamed by a loser GM wants to sell his overpriced 3rd rate chessable knock-off training website.
Suggesting these books is an absolute embarrassment to lichess.
Better to have no articles at all, lichess!

Lichess doesn't place blogs on their front page, not like that at least. The popular ones are made to go there themselves. And I don't know why such strange blogs get popular.
