Thank you for sharing, it really helps to pile on these stories (and nice to have some trust they’re real, more difficult to get from reddit—on which note are there non doxing receipts you can show for this story being true? I have no reason to doubt you in particular but I guess it’s good hygiene when on the internet to ask for evidence)
It also makes me wanna share a bit of my story. I read The Mind Illuminated, I did only small amounts of meditation, yet the framing the book offers has been changing my thinking and motivational systems. There aren’t many things I’d call info hazards, but in my experience even just reading the book seems to be enough to contribute to profound changes, that would not be obviously be considered positive by the previous me. (They’re not obviously negative either, I happen to be hopeful, but I’m waiting on results another year later to say)
In my case I should have measurable results like higher salary, higher life satisfaction, more activity, more productivity as measured by myself and friends/flatmates. I was very low so it’ll be easy to see progress. The difficulty was finding something that’d work, but it won’t be measuring if it does.

Waiting a long time before confirming insights is good. What would you consider a credible receipt?
