Episode 5: How many self help books, is too many self help books?

from The Guilty Reader Podcast · host Vanshika Sharma

In this week's episode I share a shocking discovery: In my collection on 800 or so e-books, I have approximately 250+ self help books! That means there are multiple books across topics such as productivity, goal setting, personal finance etc. The sheer number has made me spiral into a mild existential crisis. In this episode I try answering questions such as: 1. Why do I have so many self help books? 2. Am I substituting taking action with the crutch of accumulating self help books? 3. Can one really read their way out of problems? 4. Is there a difference between reading a self help book and learning from it? 5. Most importantly: Is there such a thing as too many self help books? Tune in to know my take and let me know your thoughts in the comments too!
