    "why men love bitches" – not what you might think.
    teaches girls how to not put up with crappy treatment and how to get along good with men. Best relationship book for women I can think of.

    Yes I have, one of my favourites is by Alan and Barbara Pease, called "Why men don’t listen and women can’t read maps". It has taught me a lot about men and the differences in the communication between the sexes. Susan Jeffers "Feal the Fear and do it anyway", is also a good book.

    Self-help books are the first step to development in many areas. In some cases it may be professional growth while in other ways it may be emotional reconciliation. Anyone that reads a self-help book must see an opportunity in themselves for enrichment or improvement. Over the years, I have read many self-help books and many have helped me see myself differently or even understand others. I would say."Read On" my friend and best wishes. jude

    When I saw a book entitled Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart: 33
    things we need to know now by Gordon Livingston I thought
    well I wonder if I know those 33 things. Bought the book and found that I did know those 33 things. Still it was as good read.

    The best self help is to keep the money in your pocket and stop making these publishers rich.

    I had been suffering from depression for just over a year and decided that enough was enough, I wanted to go back to work and start building my life up again. But every time I though of going back to work I was sick. So I went to the library to look for books on depression and found a book ‘how to build your self esteem’. I thought I’ll get it and give it ago, and it worked. You had to do lots of exercises etc, and after 8 weeks I got a job, which 4 years on I have just left to have a baby!

    I really believe that self-help books only help the pockets of those who write them and confuse vulnerable people who read them – entertaining as they usually are and they give us ideas which is a good thing. I also believe that inner strength is better than any book, but that is the difficult bit!!!!! The only thing I remember touching me was a simple poem "Desederada" – Follow this and you can’t go wrong in life xx

    For relationships I’d recommend Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Alot of these authors are doctors or psychiatrists so they know what they are talking about as they have probably councilled alot of different couples.

    There’s a book by Noel Edmonds (from the UK tv show Deal or No Deal) which is good- although you wouldn’t expect it. You only need 20 mins and then your self-confidence is really up!

    I am sorry I am allergic to self-help books. They often seem to be the product of some authors crisis. I was in deep, but I solved my problems, do you wanna know how? Then I can be a respected author. Puke!

    I’ve read a lot over the years but really believe that they make their authors wealthy and are not of lasting value to the reader.

    There’s always that "flavor of the month" issue that generates a lot of books. But if we use common sense in our daily lives and do what feels right, we really don’t need all those books.

    I would say the Co-Dependent books by Melody Beattie (think that was the author) were quite helpful, though.

    all are just quick fixes
    hate those really smiley people on the book covers
    the Simpson’s spoofed them too
    they all get a bit scary like a strict religion
    may as well follow the Bible/Koran/Buddhist….
    all have basic tenants of goodness and how to behave
    perhaps I should write a book called
    "Moderation, Moderation…
    Common Sense, Common Sense…"
