The Problem With Self Help Books (and why you should still read them)

Why you should read more self help books:
Almost every video on self-help media, especially literature, that I’ve seen lately has been focused on how the genre is bad for you and how everything we learn from this content is counterproductive and misinformed. I want to make a case for self-help / self improvement content and explain how I think it can be useful when viewed, or read, mindfully.
We will explore common self help books like Atomic Habits and How To Win Friends and Influence People and discuss the use of books like this and why they are not a complete waste of your time. Hope you enjoy!
