Does self-help ... help? The problem with pop psychology

I’ve had a bad experience with a self help book. As in… ended up thinking it was written directly for me, by a government agent who was trying to protect me. I think going it alone can be harmful at times.

Some are good, some just repeat popular platitudes (like the Blah-blah Soup for the Soul books). I prefer the workbooks that give you actual exercises.

They are good but getting them to stick as a lifestyle is hard.

Don’t leave people to themselves but be guided by the knowledge of others. I think in person has more effect than a book. It gives it more reality.

It’s basically all the same stuff regurgitated in different ways.

“When your on stage picture everyone naked”

“When your on stage picture everyone wearing pink dresses”

“When your on stage picture everyone as an egg”

“Be one with the egg. Be an egg.”
