Self-help books, in most cases, are not nearly systematic and rigorous enough to be universally helpful. You glean a few tips if you're lucky, though chances are that if you're reading self-help books, you're struggling too much with the basics to incorporate "pro tips" meaningfully into your life. If self-help books were any good, they would posit both a philosophy of life/work or a science of motivation/success, but rarely do we find anything more than just another contrived wankfest. It's a shame, really.

Then again, if I knew how to get my shit together better than most, I would only want to share part of the secret lest my advice creates too much competition. Some food for thought.
