- sytelus 5y agoWriting a self-help books is extraordinarily lucarative business. They are like drug which makes you feel really good about that you are improving while you read them but then effect stangely wears off and after a while you will have no memory of what the book even said.
- fortran77 5y agoI enjoy reading self-help books. Usually on airplane trips when I'm on my way to a business meeting. Makes me feel good and empowered for a few hours. In the past, I'd never read books like this. What changed? E-readers! I can now read these books without being embarrassed because other people will see the covers. (I'm old -- 58 -- so eBooks are still fairly "new" )
