Perspectives on Self-Help:

Books and other media can be powerful adjuncts to any healing process. However, they cannot replace professional advice and they should not replace inner guidance and common sense.

Be your own self-manager. Consider for a moment the advice that is being given in a book, then take in whatever resonates with your well-being and discard the rest.

Remember that the power of self-help is not in the book or other media; rather the power of self-help is in how you apply the information.
