Self-Help is not a genre!

Books can be incredible tools. They’re reference points, sources of insight, inspiration, and even comfort. But they’re not rulebooks. No single author can map out a universal guide to life - and no reader should expect one.

When you enter our shop and ask "Where's the self-help section?" You'll be asked "What is it you need help with?"

Struggling with an unruly teenager? Try Gabor Maté. Wish you had more money? Read Ramit Sethi. Keep getting your heart broken? Pick up Notes on Heartbreak.

Self-help is sprawling and marketed to pry on the vulnerable. Make sure you read more than one opinion and ALWAYS take it with a pinch of salt.
