What is so funny about the self help book industry? Where is the comedy in success?
As mentioned in yesterday’s post, the self help book industry was valued at approximately USD$9.6 billion in 2008, with growth estimates expecting this segment of the market to generate up to USD$13 billion in the US in 2010.
I’m pleased to be publishing in his genre…but sometimes you just need to sit back and have a laugh at yourself!
Check out two comedy videos related to the self help book industry…
The Greatest Self Help Book of All Time

Einstein said don’t memorise anything you can look up.
I’m passionate about my upcoming book. The content is drawn from many different realms of science and mystical beliefs, and has helped me to change my life…
But as stated above, sometimes you just need to sit back and laugh at yourself!
