'Shelf-help' books set to fill publishers' coffers in 2014

Thanks for your input, Young Financier,

I agree with you. I think it is time the poor start to think and do things differently than they have been doing so far. The same goes with self improvement help.

I'm (not really very) sorry but I don't see how the two have anything to do with each other. "Rich" people get richer because they do what they do and make the financial choices they make. "Poor" people also keep getting what they get because they keep making poor decisions. Self help books have nothing to do with "poor getting poorer" and a lot to do with "rich getting richer" as well as the poor getting richer. There are thousands of example of rich people getting poorer and poor people getting richer but you don't hear anyone mentioning those people do you?

Lazy cliches lifted off the news are boring and irrelevant.

It can be easy to snowball either way in terms of having a poor mindset for money and having a wealth attraction one.

When i say snowball this just refers to the compound effect of our thoughts over time.

If people truly understood the concepts in self improvement books they would apply them because, for the most part, they work.

It's too easy to feel negative about money and have this strengthen into our belief and about money and wealth (which aren't the same btw).

A wealth attraction mindset rides the positive mentality of small success to brew and develop increasingly larger successes. Like gaining momentum with increasingly better and stronger successes/choices.

A poor money mindset will see a small success and just consider it luck or a coincidence. Nothing to be taken seriously here even though the freak'n universe is basically giving you a small leg up out of the poverty mindset.

When people finally own up to creating their own realities things will be a A LOT better off. And by that i mean taking responsibility for their lives and creating something grand and positive no matter what. Otherwise you're just part of the 99% of complainers out there who snowball into money negativity. Then you get absolutely no where fast.

Even the mindset that self-help books are crap is a crap mindset. It's like seeing someone smiling and feeling angry or disgusted just because someone has a reason to be happy and you don't.

Reading all the self-help books in the world won't help you if you aren't willing to shift your perception to something brighter and greater.

You have to twist your perception away from lack (more specifically lack of money) and negativity or that's all you'll see in the world.

the missing link as to why the lack of lasting result .. is that there is some belief that there is a missing link or some secret someone knows that they are missing.


to get animals fat .. in the united state they are fed diets of corn and soy and penned up and shot full of antibiotics.

now if you are eating a diet of mostly corn and soy (or animals that ate mostly corn and soy).. and not moving much ..and regularly taking a medication or getting sick and popping antibiotics.. what is going to happen to you ..

so the secret way to lose weight .. eat less corn and soy ..move ..like walking and reduce medications .

but you can explain that in 2 pages .. and it would not sell many books.. instead you get diet books that are 90 percent about what is wrong with ever other diet .. explaines the diet in a few pages .. then give some recipies .

and because you probably have the equipment you need to walk.. it is not that profitable to tell people to just walk an hour a day .

Congratulations Odahh. It's about "Action".

Self-help books are only a guide, and can give insight to problems,
and offer the author's "Ideal" solution(s). How many "Self-help"
books are there in internet marketing?

"5 easiest ways to MMO"
"Targeted list - thousands per day"

and so forth. Much is garbage, some are gems.

The bottom line is that you can read, and read, and read...

The only thing that matters in the end is what you do with
that information. You can choose to do something, or nothing.

I agree with you. If people want to improve their life, they have to take action. The books can only give us some guidelines. We have to take action based on those guidelines. But most of us keep buying books and learning and not taking any action.

WHY?

Because, it means creating a change and we are scared of change. We are scared of getting out of our comfort zone because of our current belief system. We will only be able to change and get out our comfort zone, when we are able to get rid of our old belief system and create new one that will help us to take action.

Inactivity is the biggest killer of an idea/dream. You have to pick up your foot and step forward if you want to actually go in a direction. Though, often the reason people neglect to actually take any step is how they are afraid of making a mistake and that fear paralyzes action. Where as, the important thing is to make just any movement and adjust course/action as you go along.
