Re: Self Help Books - Do they really work?
if teh book is good and you have a real will to make a positive change but need guidance and direction and the book provides it, and you make a real effort to apply it, then yes.
I can speak from personal experience that when I hit a low point during college years, some self help stuff not only got me out of the funk, but made me accomplish what just a year ago was not even a realistic aspiration for me.
