Anything Self-Help. They're usually just a vehicle to sell more shit.

"If you're looking for self-help, why would you read a book written by somebody else? Also, if you're reading it in a book, folks, it ain't self-help. It's help."

Before you can help yourself, you must first self your help. That is to say that you must relate to your support network in a way that fits with your worldview.

That will be $14.99. I take, Venmo, PayPal, and Bitcoin.

Goes double for anything using that trend of trying to make it seem hard core by putting random censored explitives in the title and the text.

That said... I got all the self-help I need from Self-Help Singh LOL.
