well.. as a psych major- i do think self help books can be helpful.... CAN be is the major word here b/c you can not change if you do not WANT to... you can read all the book son the shelf at barnes and noble- but if you aren't going put those things into action- then yes- it is worthless..... i think the best tool for sorting through your life and helping yourself.. is to do just that... talk and listen to yourself- what you are thinking and feeling..... counselors etc give you an arena to discuss what is on your mind since during your daily life- you are not thinking about how your family problems affected you when you were younger.... so they bring attention to what you already know... it brings inner strength and a good kick in the pants if you will lol.... i really like dr. phil but i find him more effective on tv... thats just me- and i like 7 habits for highly effective people- that book has been around for a long time- these ideas are nothing new.... but itsbeen around for so long because the ideas WORK.... if you apply the ideas properly- you're golden- its not an overnight hting... anyway- enough babbling- sorry guys...
and the whole business thing... im sure they can help you (again) if used right....
