Book Reviews of Helping Me Help Myself: One Skeptic, Ten Self-Help Gurus, and a Year on the Brink of the Comfort Zone

Book Review: HELP yourself to BETH LISICK's insight!
Summary: 4 Stars

I had read an impressive review of this book, which made me consider checking it out. After all, where could you see 10 different approaches to improving your life in one place?

It was especially intriguing since I could have the advantage of the author's experience without the aggravation of going through all of the self-help options myself! And, I might even get something positive out of her revelations.

That is exactly what this book is....Beth's account of trying out the suggestions of nearly every popular guru out there. It feels as if you are speaking to a good (and funny) friend over coffee as she explains the ups & downs, ins & outs, good & bad, silly & fun, stupid & awful things she has found during this year of exploration. It is a very quick and easy read, fun and interesting.

If you are wondering what all those gurus are about and what it would be like to meet them, you will really enjoy this book. If you are looking for a real self-help book...this will not improve you but it will entertain you.
