Being mailed this link seems destined.

Just yesterday I was discussing with a friend how much I disliked reading self help books, and today, another one mailed the above link.

The only self help book I have read is The Alchemist and it.swore.me.off.all.self.help.books

I firmly believe that each of us knows what is in our interest, what should be done to earn more, love more, be healthier, be happier, be more successful, be more content, be smarter, have more friends and be a rockstar!

So, after knowing it all, if you still haven't been able to fulfil your wish - the book will never do it for you.

Merry Christmas.

Update : I now remember, I also tried reading  The monk who sold his ferrari. In the end, better (my) sense prevailed.

No book ever does anything for anyone. It depends on what you take from the book.

The holy Koran inspires millions of people to do zakat (charity) and the same Koran inspires terrorists.

For an atheist, the Koran or Geeta or for that matter any religious book would most probably "never do" anything.

But just because it does not work for an atheist, does not mean that it wont work for anyone.

@IU - The point here is : An individual has to act. Reading or day dreaming don't suffice.
