I was never in the slightest bit taken in by self-help Gurus. I read How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie, when I was 20 years old and I thought it was nonsense. Then more and more of these books turned up on bookshop's shelves, including ones that promised miracle cures, "Just ask and you shall get". The Louis Hay group of books also promised miracle cures for things like cancer and other serious illnesses. None of the books seemed to have any real substance to them, and just contained wishy washy advice about life.
