About this listen

Self-help books promise to change your life in 10 easy steps—but why do so many people roll their eyes at them? In this episode, we unpack the love-hate relationship with self-improvement content, from the cult-like devotion of some followers to the skepticism of those who’ve been burned by generic advice like “Just believe in yourself!”

Is self-help actually helpful, or is it just repackaged common sense wrapped in inspirational quotes? We’ll dive into the good, the bad, and the cringe of the self-improvement industry with our usual dose of sarcasm and brutal honesty.
