What do you think that signing your initials at the end of the chapters accomplished?

Yes, it does make you feel obligated to read every chapter in the book.

Other people have said that they thought it was useless too; I found that it made me concentrate more on what I was reading.Rosemary Khathibe wrote: ↑11 Nov 2018, 17:35 Besides the fact that the book was in Kindle format (making it impossible to sign my initials), I did not find a need to do so as it was somehow useless.

I don't highlight or write my notes in books either, even on the kindle.Bluecobia wrote: ↑12 Nov 2018, 17:21 I know the author is trying to encourage us to commit by signing each section. However I grew up with the thought that books are important and not to be degraded. I will not write in a book. I also do not highlight or underline in any of my books. If I want to note something, then I take notes.

It is rather patronizing because the author seems to make the assumption that you are going to sign.

I don't think there is a way to sign on kindle, and you're right-the author has no way of knowing if you signed or not, so you're actually making a contract with yourself.piecesfallapart wrote: ↑13 Nov 2018, 13:44 I did not sign my initials, because: 1) I have no idea if you can do it on a Kindle, and 2) I think it has no point. Singing your initials is a way of accepting the ideas and forcing yourself to follow the advice. I feel is like a contract, between you and the author, but he has no way of knowing if you did it or not. If you are willing to make the changes and follow the advice, it doesn't matter if you sign or not.
