自我改善上瘾俱乐部The Self-Improvement Addicts Club

This next point won't be applicable to everyone, but it's worth mentioning for the segment of people for whom this does affect.

接下来这点不适用于每一个人，但是对那些受影响的人来说值得这里提一下。

If you're someone who constantly reads self-improvement information, you might want to set some boundaries for yourself. Reading new self-improvement materials can become a crutch for some people. That is, you're always trying to find the magic missing piece of information that will solve your self-puzzle and make action taking seem easier and more certain than it's ever going to be. You need to make sure you're translating your most important insights into action rather than just doing more reading.

如果你是那种持续阅读自我改善信息的人，你可能要给自己设定某些边界条件。阅读新的自我改善资料可能成为某些人的拐杖。就是说，你总是尝试寻找那个的有魔力的缺失的信息，认为这个信息能够帮助你解决你的自身困难，并让采取行动比实际看起来更容易、更可靠。你需要确保你在将你的最重要的洞见转化为行动而不是仅仅是阅读更多的资料。

Experiment: If you're a card-carrying member of the all-reading, no-action self-improvement-addicts club, try taking a break from reading new self-improvement material. For example, you might decide, “I'm not going to read any new self-improvement information for a couple of weeks” and see how that goes.

试验下：如果你是光读不做自我改善俱乐部的一员，尝试在阅读新的自我改善资料前打断一下。例如，你可能决定：”后面几个星期我不会阅读任何的新的自我改善信息“，然后看看事情如何发展。

The issue isn't so much about trying new types of self-improvement; it's about continually reading to gain insights without taking much action or without prioritizing the most important insights you need to apply. In the two weeks you're taking off from reading new information, commit to applying one behavioral strategy in your life that you've previously read about. Choose that strategy now by first generating a list of three to six options and then picking one of those options. Plan when and where you're going to implement the strategy you've chosen.

问题不在于尝试那么多的新的自助资料；而在于持续阅读获取洞见但是不怎么行动，或者没有给你需要采取的最重要的洞见高优先级。在你没有读任何新的资料的两星期内，承诺去实施一个你阅读过的用于你生活中的行为策略。选择这个策略从先生成一个3-6选项开始，然后从中选择一个。规划何时何地你要去实施你选择的这个策略。
