>>14485>because simply establishing these rules for living that will supposedly improve your life without giving any kind of guide for bringing this about in a way that eases you into this whole thingI don't think it's necessary to make it clear to the reader that one should ease their way into it - because I think it's implicit that you're supposed to do this.
To me, it's because of the word-choice.
"Lifestyle"
Also, there's the "General advice" section at the bottom.
And what about the fact that there aren't really any set-times for each instruction? That the times are loosely described, relative to a general person's work-schedule?
You're meant to take inspiration from it, and include as many practises from it, as you desire. You're meant to see it as an example to borrow from, an ideal to be inspired by, rather than a set of instructions to perfectly copy.
>Just presenting rules for life without anything outlining that setbacks are normal and okThe theoretical person who's feelings you're considering here, is a person who is literally so isolated from the self-help genre, that this picture, is all they have ever seen of it, which I don't think is normal. I think there's plenty of self-help books which would mention or cover the topic of self-forgiveness (although I have yet to see so for myself as I don't avidly consume such material). If they haven't read a self-help book, they've probably consumed self-help YouTube videos, made by people who did read those books.
So yeah, I think the guide is fine for what it is. A guide, not a routine to be perfectly emulated, and I don't think there's anything in it that implies it is to be perfectly emulated either.
