Let's discuss self help books lit.

What do you think about them and if you've read any, how did they improve your lives? Is there any merit to them or are they just circlejerking for fools? Let's try to answer these questions in this thread.

Personally, I read a self help book when I'm in a depresive mood, it serves as a pick-me-up even though most of the advice in them is common sense. So you could say I'm reading them strictly as entertainment. I'm going through pic related at the moment and it helps me remind myself that I'm capable in overcoming whatever is happening to me at the moment.
