I have always thought self-help books were a bit of a scam. I mean if all of those books really worked in the first place, why write more? It seems year after year, the same things are being said in these books but in different ways. Overall, it's just a way to make money really.

Self-help books works flawlessly if one actually follows the programs within them.

Of course, if one were disciplined enough to follow such a program one wouldn't need a self-help book.
