Self-help books

is there any worthy self-help book? are all them a scam and just tell you once and again "trust yourself", "you can do anything" and that kind of bullshit? or do they give some helpful advice?

can't contribute with nothing because I didn't read any of this.

Read it. Also How to Win Friends and Influence People, but you can't just read it and put it down, you have to actually apply the principles until they become habit.

is this legit advice or just memeing

Just my opinion. Also I found listening to HTWFAIP on audiobook to be much more bearable than reading since the whole book is just him launching into somewhat dated business-type anecdotes but are still applicable to today

I'll give'em a chance. My opinion is that these kind of books are useless most of them, maybe one or two can give good advice, but the rest will be cheap psychology.
I heard about Meditations of Marcus Aurelius to be quite good too

No.

>self-help books
fuck I hate these so much. mostly because of their metaphysical implications.

Daniel Kahneman - Thinking slow and fast is a high quality book, might be considered self help.

It's a good book, maybe too much book to explain too litle, but it's ok.

Please elaborate.

Once you read enough self-help books, you will see themes and ideas repeat themselves. And in the same way beauty magazines make you feel ugly, self-help books will make you feel broken.

You will get more out of a philosophy book such as "Letters from a Stoic" than you will from twenty different self-help books. Read those instead.
