Self Help

Self Help books are a strange deal- no doubt some of them like "The power of positive thinking" can be rated as a classic,however a vast majority of them fall into the terrifyingly mundane category.I was browsing through flipcart and noticed some titles like "life is what you make it","Power of subconscious mind" and so on and so forth.I have read my fair share of these and realized that mostly its an exercise in glorifying the obvious. Unfortunately self hep books are packaged like the numerous over the counter drugs promising to rid you of every ailment that you can think of at the pop of a pill.I don't need to read a book that says "The Secret" for I know that when it comes to self help there's none.The only person who can help is yourself.
