Thank you for providing such a great information on Self Help. I also found an interesting website which provides complete guidance on Self Help & Self Development. Check out the website Dreamlife Discovery & transform your life through dreams.

Yes, Self Help is really going to help us a lot. In fact I have learned many things after going through the information given in the wonderful website Self Help Tactics.

Are you all morons? The self-help industry is the biggest scam going. I have spent well over $60,000 on seminars, books, audio and the like. What do I have to show for it? Just a negative outlook on life, a belief that everyone is an idiot, and the deep fear to take a stand on anything for more that a day. I am very, very codependent. I think I know it all, but constantly get right-sized by co-workers, friends, and even my family. Sure, I have some pretty odd ways of looking at life. That’s because I’m still young and haven’t experienced much. My view of the world is through the bottom of a Bud bottle at the bowling alley. Maybe when I grow up, life won’t look so bad. I may actually find that I can still be humble, kind, and willing to learn like when I was a kid. Before I started making a couple of hundred thousand dollars a year and driving imported sports cars. I’m a playboy, looking to impress and have a good time. Hey, at age 30, I have several decades before reality sets in. Party on, dudes! Have your people call my people and we’ll do lunch. Ciau babee

Mr. Lee,

I know fully well what you described in your post about hoping that the answer will be in the next book, article, seminar, etc. I think the reason why people constantly feel that is because they have not taken personal responsibility yet. What I mean by that is realizing that everything up to the present moment is a direct result of themselves, more specifically their thoughts and those thoughts alone. Nothing else. Once that’s realized, you find that it’s all you. It’s up to you, not the book, article, seminar, but up to you.

Good post.

[...] Reading through what I’ve written before, a lot of the articles focus on the self. Why the self is important in self-help. Why we should focus on our choices and don’t just play catch up. Why we should start with ourselves in sports or when we just want to eat healthily. Are all these articles pointing towards a very self-centered me? Am I just a very selfish person? Do I really believe that by focusing on improving myself is all that matters? [...]

Hear hear! I think there’s a lot of gems in the self-help section but also a lot of duds. I like your take on where if it doesn’t work, it’s not because you’re not good enough, but because there’s no one-size-fits-all miracle tool.

I think all forms of help ultimately lead to self-help, and while some people are already doing what the books say without needing them, some of us appreciate a leg up from time to time.
