Self help books...

What's everyone opinion on them? Has anyone read them? Did you find them helpful/useful? I have an odd stigma against them. Always thought they were for the weak minded or sheep...but lately I've been looking into them

Any suggestions would be appreciated

I thought the same. I've lessened that stance a bit. I'm the kind of person that finds concil and guidance within myself. But I do take inspiration from music, stories, nature. In a way that's not too different from reading a self help book. So while I think it's silly to rely on such things, if it helps you make a positive change it's fine.

I make my own self help videos lmao 😆

I record myself giving a pep talk and amp myself up, then listen to them when I get down or am fealing weak.

I sort of have the same mentality. I try to use nature as my grounding source. But latelynive been feeling so out of control in my thoughts and I'm so quick to anger...where I dont ever recall being like this. So possibility I need structure of some sort for a little bit until I'm back in control of my emotions.

Latly I'm quick to rise with anger, and I cang seem to hold back my thoughts. Also I need to word on being less reactionary

Sounds like you're having irritability problems, over stressed about something?
