Self-help books seek to motivate the reader to find ways to circumvent their crises without seeking other forms of support. A lot of people use self help books. Are they just interesting or really helpful?
Dear Roberto - Minadeo
I personally think that self help books have a role. Many people are shy about seeking help about certain topics and hence these books are useful. Also they give guidance which the person can accept or reject - but at lease if well written, they supply the reader with clues about areas that he or she needs help. Hopefully the reader also goes further than just reading self help books, and put some of the advice into practice.
Warm regards Tina
I guess, those who are keen about reading and working based on what books suggest for such people it is heroic else for people who do not read a lot at least for doing some stuff (such as ME :) they are villainous !!

What I am saying is that self-help books will give you different perspectives on the world around you and how you interact with people, your environment and yourself...
Reading a self-help books is interesting and makes you feel better and open your mind to new ideas and ways of doing things maybe differently that may lead to change for better.
I'm not sure about the meaning of a 'self help book'. I love reading and whatever I understood, remember, and use, I see it as a 'self help'. Unfortunately, I don't have time lately to read much, so that I'm far from a hero.
I agree@ Tina Lindhard for your contribution. Interesting good work.
Book are our companion & self help book remain the power of inspiration .In the early phase the books like How to win friends & influence people, Change your thought -Change your life- 10 Secret for success & Inner peace by Dr Wayne Dyer may turn out to be likely change in our pattern motivation & also the inspiration for the part of our living .
This is my personal opinion
Self help books in a broader term are books which are mostly inspired by stories of successful people and offer valuable insights to success.
I think these books provide important help to people with little experience so it is a good thing and a factor that increases people's creativity and self-development
I'm seeing rich answers that appreciate such books, leaving aside the stereotype of being shallow.
In times of uncertainty and helplessness these books help
