I despise self help books, the money spent on a self help book could instead buy a copy of some classic literature, which will be infinitely more useful and meaningful than “Step 1. make a lotta money, step 2. Sleep 5 hours a day, step 3. Cold shower brrrrr”.
Even better, you can just read a classic book on gutenberg or an ereader for free, and donate the $15-$20 to a charity.
Someone did sell one like that, a $15 self help book about how to become a millionaire. Then when you opened the book it just said “sell 60,000 books for $15/each”

If I wrote a self help book, it would say, don’t pay for self help books when you can instead read famous amazing books for free instead.
