Your journey with self-help books is quite relatable and it’s commendable that you’ve taken the time to reflect on your experiences. It’s true that motivation can often be fleeting, especially when it’s externally driven. However, I’d like to offer a slightly different perspective.

While it’s true that self-help books often promise quick fixes and surefire strategies for success, the real value might lie in the process of exploration and self-discovery they facilitate. Each book offers a different perspective, a new approach, or a unique strategy. The act of reading these books and trying to implement their advice can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself and one’s goals.
