Dicipline and the ability to build good habits is out of the window for a lot of people due to different illnesses. You come across as trying to sell snake oil to people with a heart attack.




If you try hard enough you can always find a plausible sounding excuse for failure. Discipline and good habits are the most effective way to prevent heart attacks in the first place. While there are a tiny fraction of people with serious mental health conditions or developmental disabilities which prevent them from making progress, that hardly applies to anyone on HN.

No one is arguing efficacy. We’re talking about how overly simplistic “just do it” is. Life isn’t a Nike commercial.

Yes, prevents heart attack, but if you are in the middle of one?

Sweet summer child.
