Self help is really all just stoic philosophy reworded in as many buzzwords and phrases meant to fit the times in which they are written. And I really appreciate it when people talk to me about their problems and I can do the same with them. I’m not gonna help them solve them but it feels good to speak your problems out loud and to relate to another person.
The enormous number of self-help books undermines the whole concept.
