Recently, several of my friends have started to read various self help books. Some of them have really taken it to heart and such, bringing them 'new life' and 'new beginings.' I myself am rather skeptic of such books. Are self help books anything more than common sense we all have with great PR people for authors?
The advice these books preach probably will work if you take it to heart; yet I feel as though most of it you know without reading. Advice such as 'Put others first in your daily life' and 'Forgive yourself, allow yourself to heal,' just seem obvious to me. Yet thousands of people buy these books, and shell out lots of money to attend these seminars. Is there something more to it? Or are these people just sheep, following someone with excellent PR skills?
