Are "Self Help" books the Porn of our generation?


As soon as you walk past "that" section a chill shoots up your spine." Should i casually walk past it and check it out?" "Nah fuck it, people will look at me like i got serious issues."

Am I talking about Porn at Krauzers??? or the Self Help isle at Barnes and Noble??? The answer is obvious of course.... the self help section (If you think people think you have issues for looking at porn at Krauzers you're completely wrong... they're just jealous).

So this begs the question, Is buying a self help book a cry for help, or a journey for a better life? As the owner of a couple of "Self Helpers," I can honestly say that the majority of us screwed up folk are just looking for more out of life. The mind is a powerful thing and I believe we would all be foolish not to figure out ways to use it in its most effective form. Also, if you grew up with someone like my dad, it might be something you should look into as well.

Whats the point of this posting??? I have no idea. But if you were to have some spare time in your future it might not be a bad idea to fire up a little "Power of Now," or for you real freak shows, "The Secret." With that said, if any of you followers of TSGOT would like to make a trade... Porn Mags for Self Helpers, I'm down. Just don't get my pages stuck together.

  1. LOL. I had no idea! So what's on your self-help shelf?

    Best two titles of all time - I was I think about 14 or so and we'd walk into my mom's bedroom to find her reading these. I think we actually have videotaped evidence of her reading them. Needless to say the divorce wasn't far behind. ;)

  2. haha... For some people Self Helpers are definitely red flags (lol video evidence). For others, like myself, a ticket to enlightment.
