Gotcha!

Stop reading self-help books, articles or getting advice from friends. What you need is to start listening to yourself and learn the process to find the answers within you. The only books, friends, and therapists that are good for you are the ones that help to help yourself.

I'm going to have to agree that self-help books really don't help all that much. What worked for one person doesn't always work for another.

Or even if it is the same solution, the point is to find it ourselves. Like when working on a maths problem, it's not about about getting the right answer from the book or a friend, but learning how to solve it ourselves so that we can crack the next problem easier.
