Don't you just love books?
I love my daily dose of self-help books 😁
Until proven otherwise, it is safe to assume that—as the saying goes—nobody is perfect.
That means we have room for at least some improvement in our lives. And no, we are not talking about getting a higher-paying job or a new haircut: we are referring to inner improvement. This involves working on managing some of our less-than-desirable habits and traits—things like being unable to trust other people, having difficulties with interpersonal communication, or lacking self-confidence.
That is where Self-Help books can come in handy! It is basically like someone has thought extensively about the general challenge you are facing, and then walks you through steps to help you figure it out—or at least think about it more clearly.
To be clear: self-help books are not a replacement for working with mental health professionals. If you are dealing with a mental illness, seek out a credentialed person you can speak with in person (or over a video call). But for situations without a clinical element, a self-help book can make a difference.
