Types of self-help books
Today, there are at least a couple of self-help books for each issue a person might have. However helpful these try to be, there are still a lot of individuals who criticize them and who divide them into four categories, as follows:
- the books that provide wrong advice - the so-called bad effect self-help books
- the books that help people simply because these ones pay more attention to things they had not taken into account before- the placebo effect self-help books
- the books that have no effect on people - no effect self-help books.
