Self-help is a paradoxical term. Do self-help books really work? Negating responses abound. Still, the genre has grown steadily. If these books do help, why the topic gets hotly debated? How do their authors mesmerize people to believe that these books are veritable treasure troves? If they are indeed helpful, to what extent are they facilitative in self-development? If they don’t, what are the reasons thereof? The author, a behavioral science trainer, made an in-depth study of this argumentative conundrum. Among other things, his findings threw out certain critical factors that generally get glossed over by the writers, users, and critics of self-help books (SHBs) alike. What can you do if you don’t have the required talents for self-help? Can you create them? Can SHBs overcome or change the dysfunctional samskara or vasana of a person? Can you erase your karmic imprints by using any tips the books offer? Why the spiritual premise that each person is a 'crowd-in-one'; what challenges does it pose? Is there a difference between talent and vasana? Can vasana be overcome, and if so, how? · Can you create or change your destiny, and if so, how? How about fate? · Is there any way by which one can escape from the ancestral karmic baggage? · For all the answers and more, read this book.
