Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
You Might Have a Scarcity Mindset If...
Eric Bailey · 2018
58/100
👎 Skip It
Using Jeff Foxworthy's joke format to diagnose scarcity thinking is a clever hook, and the humor does lower the reader's defensiveness — which is genuinely useful in mindset work. But the joke-book structure keeps this at surface level throughout, with no citations or research scaffolding. It is a fine gift-book for someone curious about abundance thinking, not the book you hand someone who wants to do the actual work.
