It's so aggravating how common it is. "Have you read this life changing book, The Rule? You have to read it! It changed my life."
The rule in question: wash your butt
the worst are the ones that go off in a metaphysical direction where they say you can literally alter reality with mantras and right-think. the dilbert guy wrote a book like this that I read when I was a kid and it was so awful and stupid that I never liked dilbert again.
I remember when The Secret came out and multiple people started dropping it in conversation. I didn't know it was related to a book, it was kinda surreal.
EDIT: Earnestly, someone said that they could do better at Warhammer 40k because he could influence dice rolls with his belief. Which would be cheating.
Haha, I know exactly which book you're talking about. I didn't end up reading it and so I didn't really find out how weird he was until he started becoming a Trumper.
