I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, 'Where's the self-help section?' She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not a fan of self-help books - how can something be 'self-help' if the book itself is purportedly helping you?
When I look for self-help books for myself, I used to be scared that I was going to pick up a book that would depress me even more.
I never read a self-help book except for the Bible.
I'm really wary of self-help books.
I don't usually read self-help books, but I read a great book by a guy called Wayne Dyer: 'The Power of Intention,' which I loved.
I dislike the word 'self-help.' Self-awareness, yes, but not self-help.
I am the first person to go to Barnes & Noble and buy the new self-help book. I like to fill out the surveys, then I get my friends' opinions on how I answered to see if I was being honest with myself or not.
I'm not a great believer in self-help.
You've got all these books on self help, getting to know yourself, doing the right thing, eating the so-called right foods, even down to what books you have on your shelves. People are encouraged to look to themselves first as opposed to being a part of society.
I can't get enough of self-help books of all kinds.
