I will feel better.

So this new group is starting and for a kick off 'someone' decided that a self help book would be a good place to start.

I sighed.

I haven't waded in telling them why that is a bad idea, which shows personal growth on my part I feel. I am thinking that they may find self help books ..well helpful. But I have my doubts. There are so many. So very many. And they peddle the bleedin' obvious so appealingly packaged. ANd I know that it all seems very attainable, and with a bit of effort, I could do it. I could help myself. But then again who ever does? Please, if you have found a self help book which really began a change process which was sustained for more than a week or two could you leave a comment with the title of the book and what made it valuable for you.


I am not about to belittle that, I am honestly interested in what actually brings about change in a human's life, change that persists for longer than a few days. What process makes it happen. Knowing what motivates people to behave differently is a very powerful bit of knowledge, and I would like to catch a glimpse of what that looks like, guess it is very personal, guess there are already books and courses out there which may give me this info, NLP, for instance seems to have a lot to say about changing behaviour, but somehow I remain untouched. How about NLP...have you ever been? Perhaps I should go, and find out what it has to offer, top tips for winning over the opposite sex, or selling your product? But what about the change which means I get to live the more satisfying life, where does that come from?
