Hello! This episode is about Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. She came to fame with Eat, Pray, Love. I did not read that book, but I did read Big Magic. I actually rather liked this book. She works to give you permission to be creative, whatever that may mean to you. She stresses that you do not hav…
This book is not for the weak. Eddie Jaku survived the Holocaust. He is an Auschwitz survivor who gives us some profound lessons about happiness in this book.

I'm back!! After a long Holiday break and the craziness of the New Year, I am bringing Self Help Yourself back with a banger of a first episode. I read Carry Fisher's The Princess Diaries. I was blown away by her writing...which my wife informed me is well-known to be amazing (Carry has helped writ…
This episode is a wonderful conversation with Will R Young, a CFP, stoic philosopher, and the author of The Enough Equation.

I review Cait Flanders' book, The Year of Less. In the spirit of less, I have very little negative to say about it. I enjoyed this book quite a lot. She saves the more self-helpy portion for the end after telling you of her experience with her own experiment. It is a refreshing book that organicall…

I have organized my comments about this book in order of worst tip to bets tips. Honestly, there are s…

He explained that improvement he sees in his clients usually happens once that person accepts the situation or circumstanc…
Hello all! This episode is all about Charlamagne tha God's book, Get Honest or Die Lying: Why Small Talk Sucks. This book is fantastic! I really enjoyed it. I feel like I learned a lot...even if his friend Aaron thinks I am the enemy. Come see what I loved so much about this book and then check out…

Episode 48 - LOUD

I listened to Drew Afualo's LOUD this week. Spoiler alert: I did not really like it. But it's not for me. In fact, I am the enemy. So, I think it's understandable why I wouldn't like it, to an extent. But the book illustrates some of the living contradiction that Drew Afualo embodies. She claims th…
