Helping Me Help Myself: One Skeptic, Ten Self-Help Gurus, and a Year on the Brink of the Comfort Zone by Beth Lisick
2.0
Meh. Lisick is funny, but I found her complaints about money annoying, especially since on the front of this book it announced she's a NYT best-selling author.
Lisick embarks on a year-long project to sample some of the best-selling self-help programs tackling one a month. She does a month on Jack Canfield (of Chicken Soup for the Soul fame), Suze Orman, a weight-loss cruise with Richard Simmons, the guy who wrote the Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, and Stephen Covey (Seven Habits guy). She undertakes each with her snarky attitude intact, which is funny and kept the book from being a total bore. But her heart wasn't in it so it was a little lacking for me. I liked Lisick's writing style and sense of humor and would pick up another one by her. Overall, though, only ok for me.
