The self help book doesn't suggest that the person is broken. This is a perception. Self-help books expsnd the mind and give you a different perspective on looking at life... it's like hypnotic reading. Hypnotic reading is part of clearing process. Blessings, Michelle Steve….

Thank you so much for writing it!!! Then I ordered your "Zero Limits" and this one changed my whole attitude to life. I actually started ENJOYING this wonderful life after spending years suffering& struggling. I didn't know this can get any better but it did: your "Attractor Factor" halped me to find out a lot more about myself and my children and your "Awakening course" is the best audio I ever had. This is so ecxiting! Thank you so much for spreading the good news AND the miracles,- you are one of them! “Attract money now” was an amazing book: it changed my life INSTANTLY!

It is the same pill sugar coated and presented differently in different books. The ultimate goal is to help oneself to be happy - so whatever it takes to do this. Everyone desires happiness and they search for ways to find it in self help books (among other ways). A few rare people discover that happiness is their own nature - it is not different from them. The rest keep going on the journey to reach this state. Best wishes to all:-) There so many self-help books because people enjoy variety and they think that they require different ways to help themselves!

Ever wird you word could have been written by me and applies to me in the sane way. Joe, keep us informed of when the ABC program will air. I went to a book talk with the author of 59 seconds sponsored by the Boston Skeptics Society near Harvard. He did a lot of magic tricks, showed optical illusions, misdirection etc. He did 3 months of research on sciences based research on quick self help solutions. Many were contradictory of what one would normally expect. So the average non-scientist would able to improve their lives in the quickest and easy way possible without doing years of reseach. 59 seconds title was chosen because a friend asked him to give her a quick summary of practical ways to make herself happier in under a minute.

I have read many books, and continue to at present and know I will read many more in the future. There is no one right answer, if there were then one person would have all the attention and everyone would listen to them... wait a minute, that sounds familiar, sounds like someone I know, Joe Vitale?? LOL, just kidding. The point is everything I learn puts me in a new mental state to accept the next step, the next line of thinking for myself that moves me closer to my goal. If someone walked up to me with a box 'containing the secret to my perfect life' when I opened it my mind wouldn't be able to comprehend it because you can't jump ahead, it is a process, & if you're mind isn't prepared for it you will never see it or be able to accept it so it would be worthless at that time. I got it, I get it, the people who don't aren't taking our journeys, and will never know unless they chose to take their own steps to understanding it... They aren't ready to see what's in our box either... I agree and have just come into this line of thinking as well.

Sound silly? Well, then consider the time needed to become a doctor, a lawyer, a mechanic, or an engineer, or even a plumber. Why do so many get the idea that reading one good self-help book or watching an inspiring video like The Secret is going to change their life? We need to be realistic. The best books in the field need to be read through and perhaps repeated. Reading others as well is even better. Think about how much time you've spent becoming the person you are now. If you want to change who you are, it will require a certain amount of time and effort. Don't become disheartened. Continue with faith that you are on the right path when you read these books. They are for real. Bless you and I sincerely wish you the best on your journey.

It's not something you do once or twice, and then you're set for life. The muscles and lungs need regular toning to stay healthy. The same can be said for books that remind us to think healthy. One book, seminar or course won't set us straight for life. We need regular reminders from different sources in various formats to help us stay mentally strong, positive and on track. And there's always a new generation of people needing this empowering wisdom -- and they like to get it from contemporary sources they relate to. Hence the need and demand for new titles in the self-help category. Bob Beyond cookbooks and mechanics, here’s another good analogy to self-help products … fitness centers, fitness trainers, etc.
