Self-help pap. Like a swirling vortex of pap. Since so many are apparently clueless, let me help: your minutes will be a million times better spent in reading nearly anything written before 1980. After that - especially among the "self-helpers" - it's the blind leading the blind. The whole notion of "cheer myself up with therapy-via-advice-book" is the same sort of modern solipsism that satisfies in the short term but makes people feel rootless in the long.
Try Coleridge, John Muir, Shakespeare & Cato -- you'll actually enjoy yourself & you'll actually come away smarter. Maybe you'll pick up a few quotes by heart and then you'll really feel a man of letters.
