Years ago I was recommended "The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking" It's not a therapy book really; it's listed in the self-help genre. Still, I love it because it talks about all the problems with self-help books. The author goes to motivational talks, finds a person who grudgingly and unenthusiastically yell, "I'm so motivated" and later tells the author his trip to the talk was paid for by the parks department he worked for; he don't really want to be there. The author does a deep dive into what's wrong with the motivation book culture in general, how we should not be afraid of our failures or how the quest to feel good all the time might be to our detriment. It's a great read. The article here seems to be arguing more that all therapy books are either the same or claim their method is better when it's not significantly different, or they promise exergerant claims of totally turning ones life around when they really don't; how therapy is often a slow though out process with gradual changes. It seems to fit inline with stuff in The Antidote from the perceptive of self-help books. It's a good read.
