List all the self help books you have
I have:

Dying of Embarrassment
Boundaries
Who's Pulling Your Strings How to Break The Cycle of Manipulation
The Anxiety Cure
Public Speaking Without Pain
Speaking Up
Anthony Robbins Unlimited Power
The Magic of Thinking Big

I guess I have more self help books as opposed to normal books. Some of them were excellent but some were in the middle and some were terrible overall. Not surprised since I got 2 or 3 of them for free at a college back then.

Just one. The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook. They're all just variations of the same things to me so I don't really read any others.

Thanks Sial I was starting to think I was the only person without any. I've never had the impression that self-help books are anything more than taxes for suckers...no offense to other people...actually that will probably offend a lot of people anyway so I guess sorry is more appropriate. ::

Well, if a book can't interest my short attention the book or books will sit and collect dust. My fear is, buy, read, okay makes sense. Wait ... what was that sound? Set it down and never feel like opening it again.

Really is frustrating, too, when you reach end of page which may end with word consistently. Okay, I don't remember what I read. Reread page. Very slow. If it repeats, slam book shut, I'm done.

Schools, universites, and colleges all use text books on subjects as part of the learning process. Not everyone will benefit from those books, but they are a tool used to benefit some people. Likewise not everyone will benefit from a self-help book, but there are those that do, and for those people the books are a godsend.

Also (and I refer more to personal development books), you are learning from people that have been there and gone through what you have been through, or has learned the secret of success through what they have achieved in life. If you are an fairly un-important person, then you don't speak to all these successful people personally, so reading their stories and thoeries are often key to overcoming your challenges.
