Читать книгу The Juice Master Juice Yourself Slim: The Healthy Way To Lose Weight Without Dieting - Jason Vale, Jason Vale - Страница 8

Many people try to relight the inspirational fire using the same method that helped them succeed before, such as rereading the book. I know people who have tried to reread Slim 4 Life or Turbo Charge Your Life in 14 Days in order to get exactly the same revelation they had the first time. However, they find that ‘it just wasn’t the same’. This is because you can’t possibly have the same revelation twice. It’s like the film The Sixth Sense with Bruce Willis. The first time you see it the twist at the end is a complete revelation, and the very aspect that makes the film what it is. However, those who watch it a second time can’t possibly get the same revelation, and most tend to analyse the whole film, rather than going with the flow and enjoying it. The same principle applies to all ‘self-help’ books, and indeed a book like Slim 4 Life. The first time is a revelation for most, but the second reading is often a case of the person flicking through, hunting for the ‘trigger’ that will enlighten them again, analysing the book instead of reading it with the same intensity.

Sometimes it’s worth rereading a book as you may well have missed things first time around, but this is only beneficial if you are already in the right frame of mind and just need a little reminder or retune. If, however, you achieve success but then lose the plot, the chances of the book being as effective are super slim. I know many people who read the infamous Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr and found it easy to stop for a length of time but started smoking again. Many tried to reread the book only to find it wasn’t anywhere near as effective as the first time. They needed a different way of receiving the same or similar information (like a session at one of his clinics) for them to see the light again and gain true freedom from smoking.
