Help for your Self-Help needs.

Self-improvement is big business, worth $11.6 billion last year, and expected to grow 6.2% per year from 2009 – 2012.  If a small percentage of the people (like me) who consume self-help products were successful at whatever it is they wanted help with, the world would be a much more peaceful and harmonious place.  But as the world has not changed much in those areas, it stands to reason that the majority of the stuff sold does not work.  What a surprise!

In my quest to connect the dots between the spiritual understanding that all things and actions manifest evidence of their effectiveness and benefit, I purchased a new self-help book titled 59 Seconds: Think A Little. Change A Lot. by Richard Wiseman.  I highly recommend it simply because it highlights what doesn’t work, and what does based on validated research.  What that means is that the book contains really clear and concise things you can do in 59 seconds or less to be more decisive, imaginative, engaged, and happy.

That’s my take.  Anyway, what’s one more book gonna hurt?
