The length of the book is relevant to your analysis being wrong. I defined an asset in seven words RD takes endless pages of what are in effect copywriting sales copy to tell a story to do the same thing. IOW the extra 259 pages are motivation for the idiot masses. The extra 259 pages can be nothing but motivation because there is simply nothing else to say after describing what an asset is. This is the best proof that the book is nothing but feel good motivation because it was so popular for a short period of time, a fad for the masses.
You mention LoTR, ok Iāll go with that. It is much more than an engaging story about a group of dudes who go for a walk to throw away jewerelly It is full of references to Nordic myths and Christian theology, the ecology is well thought out and consistent and plausible, Tolkien even invented his own grammatically correct language. LoTR also showcases an appreciation of the art of writing and storytelling. The writer is clearly erudite and intelligent. Compare and contrast to the dull plodding of the Potter series. A type of fantasy make-believe woven into fantasy lacking any discourse of truths about reality and the human condition.
The only anger here is you not liking the reality that only losers buy motivation. this is true irrespective of you getting angry or upset. as for you not actually knowing what an asset is and needing RD to tell you that is simply down to you not thinking. Most people donāt actually do thinking, instead they spend their time discussing inane pleasantries about the weather, gossiping about the neighbours and fatuous platitudes over sportsball and accepting all the social conditioning inherent in society.
