| What function they fulfill the books self-help in today's society? |
The lack of communication and the habit of dialoguing for pleasure causes a tide of doubts and these books come to fill these spaces left by the void of relationships. | They play the role of the grandmother, something very healthy if it weren't for 3 details: she transmitted what she knew daily and for years, her only magic recipes were from the kitchen and the grandmother did not charge. | Since Plato, through St. Augustine, self-help books have served for mental and spiritual development. Today's society demands more and more creative ideas, to which these books give an answer. | ||||||
| Can you lock up some risk take these works very at the foot of the letter? |
Believe that there is an easy solution to everything. Reading a book is not synonymous with success and even less so socially. They can be harmful because they do not solve the unconscious need that leads to them. | No. If someone is able to follow to the letter all the advice they receive, whether it be from an advisor, a counselor or a book, they must also accept everything that happens to them afterwards. He deserves it. | When reading any self-help book, a wise balance must be maintained between receptivity and skepticism, otherwise everything that is read would be blindly assumed without reflection. | ||||||
| Is there any book what have you read and what would recommend? |
An author that I find interesting is Dr. Lair Ribeiro on the social side, and Anthony Robbins with works on professional success, although I am somewhat skeptical of this type of literature. | I think so! "The man without attributes" by Robert Musil. Another that I would recommend to give to an author that we want him not to write more is "How I have written some of my books" by Raymond Roussel. | I liked the book that collects the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson. I also like the anthology of texts by William James. Of course I hope that my books serve as inspiration and guidance to others. |
