90% Of Self Help Books Contain The Same Advice - PDF Download

Roughly 90% of Self Help books contain the same advice repeated over and over. Don't believe me? Stop by your local bookstore sometime and read the Table of Contents of a dozen or so Self Help books. The advice may be worded differently or geared toward a specific target audience (eg. men, women, various enthnic and social groups), but the underlying message is pretty much always the same. Here's a PDF list of that advice.

Thank you Mr. Sacheen for sharing the article on Self help and by which you have done a great motivation within us.

Self help books are at least better than negative thoughts and people. It gives people hope. Its how you use them rather than reading them like a text book or a story book.
Oh! BTW I still use them and have found them to be beneficial and have lent such books to my friends and help them improve their lives.
Better to light a candle than curse darkness.

It is not about whether Self-help books carry the same advice... It is about how it is said differently each time. All of us react to things differently. 'You can win' might appeal to a certain set of readers and 'Unlimited Power' to some others.
Let me give an example- Some one might say that psychologists do the same thing.... provide space, listen to the client and support them to find their own way. Just by knowing the 'what' is not sufficient. It is the HOW that matters. Law of attraction was known to everyone but why only 'The Secret' was such a success.
People shall keep on reading self-help books and they might find the same things told to them in a different manner... Probably something new shall click and make more sense...

I completely agree
I wonder, all these books talk about
Spirituality
Balanced life style
no hunger for money and brand
To help others
To be selfless
To be ethical
To think about others
Self discipline
all of these things are known to us for ages but the question is who follows?
Even the authors, they stay in US or abroad, fly in business class, do holiday and enjoy lavish life style. Even they talk about sages and Indian spiritualism, their children study in top notch international schools. So I do not trust what they talk, preach and what they follow.
Pardon me if I am sounding very complaining or criticising but this is fact
