I know you're more in the frustrated and angry camp right now but it is a good idea. Self-help does contain a lot of the selfish notions and ideas. On the surface, books like The Secret amongst others twist people's ways of thinking and cause serious problems later down the road.
And these books are what many people say define the industry.
I've seen you climb out of that shitty content mill job and become a fantastic writer. I feel like you can overcome this too.
