How Self-Help Approaches Can Be Summarized

I liked this quite ambitious post ‘Every self-help book ever, boiled down to 11 simple rules‘. And as we speak of apparently a $11 billion self-help industry, that’s even more ambitious!

Here’s a summary of those eleven points reworded by me

take a small step at a time – change should come in small chunksvisualize where you want to get tostruggle is good because you need to get out of your comfort zone. It will necessarily be scarybe emphatic and take some time to judge peoplecontemplate your mortal nature to act with a sense of urgencybe playful in change, cultivate your specificitieshelp others and be useful in lifeavoid perfectionism, which leads to procrastination. Just ship to the worldaccept human limitations and play the long game recharging your batteries when neededwrite down objectives and do listsdon’t just read, go out in the world and try

I am not sure this summarizes all self-help books around but it is certainly a good try. And like me you’ll find probably a pair of points that are worth remembering now because we may not have been sufficiently careful about them in the recent past.
