In general, though jfs may be an exception, I agree with what Anton LaVey said about self help books in "The Devil's Notebook":
"Those that need them won't read them or heed them."
My stepmother bought me a book by Franklin Covey when I was in high school, it was called something like "12 Habits of Highly Effective Teenagers" I read some of it, but I would have felt like a total tool trying to implement what he was saying.
