"Thanks, that is sound advice  The best time to study these courses would be when there are no \"live\" courses in which I am very interested or when there are not many personal or professional duties. Courses are only a hobby and they should not take precedent over \"real life.\" As for self-help books, I am not a big fan of them, I tried several through the service Blinkist, which is described here on the forum, and most of them turned out to be rather disappointing, there was really nothing \"revolutionary\" or life-changing there, nothing which I could not have come up with on my own or heard from friends or family. It seems to me that some of them may be the authors' attempt to get famous and earn some money. If they helped you, that's OK and it is understandable to like them. But I believe I can actually get better advice from people around me, who know me unlike the authors of these books. Anyway, people are different and what worked for the authors of these books may not work for you, and if it doesn't, it does not mean that there is something wrong with you. I believe you should not follow blindly any advice these books (as well as Internet gurus) give. Personally, I prefer reading academic or scholarly books from which I can derive factual knowledge rather than self-help ones, which may or may not work. \n"
