How have these books helped you? Specifically and beyond you being a reformed boozehound?

You used the phrase "driven automatically". What does it mean?

If a self help book helps motivate someone than it isnt bad doofus. Different things motivate different people.

i just having books that just are positive. another goodie is called" the power of positive thinking" by trumps pastor of all lol

and driven automatically, because my sister somehow went straight through college in four years, then to two grad schools right after.. no self help books. she had her own school books.

Maybe you should become your sister's manservant because you're clearly not on her level. You know, bring her drinks, change her sheets, burp her children. I mean if you need self help books to do what other people do without them then maybe you're no better than a vacuum pusher or something. I'm sure your sister would agree.

You should read How to Make Friends and Influence People. I can't think of a better guide on how to be a desperate hack of a salesman. I'm sure Ole Gil from the Simpsons has at least 3 copies.

I would really like to talk to people who have read this book.
I have been aware of its existence for about 12 years now, but have never met anyone who is aware of it or its content. Pretty cool to see it here.

Having just finished The Aeneid (a first-time read), it's time to go back to an old favorite, so yesterday I started Jane Eyre.

On the self-help book subject, I think they teach people about being accountable for one's actions. People hate being accountable for their actions at the end of the day, hence excuses, which (according to Taffer
and most every self-help book) are just bull. Sometimes, you cannot learn these things from co-workers, family, friends and a book is what you turn to. Of course there are alot of self-help books that might be considered a time-waster but anything that can help you to actively improve your current life cannot be so bad. Suc as if you actively choose to be negative, fine, its your choice. If you choose to be positive, again your choice. I am not here to judge you.

In regards to negative people rarely bother me anymore because they usually just want a negative reaction from me/wasting my time. Since time is something you can never get back, to react to them is pointless. Just a tip of the day
