millennial fulcrumthis is a serious question regarding sentiment on self-help books. (please boost if you're also curious)
"I view self-help books as a whole to be...
| more good overall." | |
| more bad overall." | |
| equally good and bad overall." |

PrinceOfDenmark@falcennial There is a lot of grifting and dreck out there… But then there’s “Atomic Habits.” There are well-researched workbooks for people with PTSD & CPTSD. There’s “Don’t Say Umm” for public speaking. There’s “The Work of Art” and “Horses Never Lie” which kinda blur the line but are a kind of self help…
So there is BS. There are people who play to our individual confirmation bias. But also there is so much good stuff out there.
How to find the good stuff, tho. 🤷♂️
@PrinceOfDenmark very interesting and thank you for using so many examples, POD!
thief_of_fire@PrinceOfDenmark @falcennial what are some examples of these PTSD workbooks?
@thief_of_fire @falcennial
Here are a workbook and a couple of references recommended to me that I found helpful.
