Self Help (Paperback)

A bestseller immediately after its publication in 1859, Self-Help propelled its author to fame and rapidly became one of Victorian Britain’s most important statements on the allied virtues of hard work, thrift, and perseverance. Interpreted by some as a paean to personal avarice, Smiles’s most celebrated book is in fact a practical and engaging tribute to the working- and lower-middle classes, in whom he identified the capacity for self-improvement and for whom he tirelessly ad (more…)swarovski crystals

True Self-help Without a Guru

Nov 22nd, 2009 by newmoney

Self-Help is the newest and fastest growing religion in this nation, resurrected from the church’s doctrine regarding the sinfulness of man, complete with its own variety of priests and priestesses, and maintained by the American populace’s willingness to accept coercion. Self-Help exists in a paradigm implying that the broken individual can fix his or herself, but this fixing can only come from following the structure of a Self-Help guru. I make no claims to be a guru and not much is being sold in this article, perhaps just the necessary bit of self-aggrandizement that is present in all writing.

I think that to truly help ourselves a couple of points need to be cleared up. Firstly, we are not that bad. We are not diseased. We are HUMAN. Striving between opposite desires and toward a moral imperative considerate of our relations with other people is our condition. If anything, we are confused. We’re like little children that worship our parents but don’t know how to please them. We want to do the right things but aren’t sure exactly what the right things are. I think we ought to start giving ourselves points for trying. Trying is a worthy endeavor and ultimate success is an illusion. Do you remember getting stars in elementary school when you gave good effort on an activity? Give yourself a star. Give yourself ten stars. Maybe we don’t need fixing, maybe somebody told us we were broken but they were mistaken, maybe we’re perfect as we are, and maybe we already are a star just for trying.

Secondly, if anybody has to do some fixing it’s us. Medication can’t fix us. Psychiatrists can’t fix us. Counselors can’t fix us. Self-Help gurus can’t fix us. Self-aggrandizing writers like me can’t fix us. The only one that can fix us is us. Responsibility is a powerful tool. By accepting responsibility we can make changes in our actions, and actions direct our moral compass. To dance, we shake our asses and the rest of our bodies follow. To achieve a content life, we must act right and our minds will follow.

Thirdly, let’s start enjoying our condition. If we’re blessed to live and have our mental faculties, life is more of a long distance marathon than a sprint. Our condition lends us to feel as though we are always in the middle between two opposing desires: sex/relationships, money/meaning, freedom/responsibilities. Though this is certainly the situation we find ourselves in, there is a tremendous difference between feeling trapped between opposing desires and taking an inquisitive, scientific posture that leads to enjoying the discovery of the best decision in a given circumstance. A correct mindset is a terrible thing for us to waste.

If we want to change the world we don’t need to change ourselves, we must be content and in that contentedness make right decisions that will benefit not only ourselves but all of us. Nothing bad can come from actions that are good. If we are following our bliss, then we are doing what’s right and no one can be hurt by our actions. There is no prescription or diagnosis for bliss, there is only the journey. This journey is not solitary because everyone is walking it all the time, whether they are conscious of it or not. Let’s take comfort in that we’re not walking alone and let’s try to enjoy the journey. Kevin Del Principe is a playwright, poet, and teacher.

Powerful Shyness Help from the Self Help World

Nov 11th, 2009 by newmoney

Shyness, also known as social anxiety, is a burden to your social life.
Children and adults alike face this problem no matter which economic status they belong to.
Though many self-help materials are available, sometimes it just does not seem to assist you much in alleviating your phobia. Some people complain that there are no results even if they follow some procedure step by step. This happens because of some reasons. But first, what is self help?
Self help is literally helping yourself without asking for anyone to assist you. Self help is used widely among psychological circles – the same process is applied in different situations.
Disdaining or disregarding self-help is not going to help conquer your fear or social phobia. This must always be the first step. Who else would help you first, but yourself? This is always the most effective of all help provided because in any manner you may start it just by yourself in everyday and common actions.
Just like starting up a conversation with simple greetings such as hi or hello everyday may lead you to longer and simple conversations that need not delve into serious matters. This will help you practice self confidence and boost your self esteem (particularly when you do more than small talk eventually). This may be a preparation for deeper topics for discussion and may automatically produce a positive outcome.
Going through self help, though, is not enough for everyone. It matters on how serious the phobia has become in the person. You may rely on self help because it is one step in defeating social anxiety, but having reinforcement from other people is not bad either. Seeking help is normal if your social anxiety gets out of control.
There are a few reasons why self help fails to help a person in a certain situation. One reason is too much anxiety may lead you to loss of words even with adequate preparation, or even if you are knowledgeable about a topic.
Another reason is, even if you are knowledgeable about the topic being discussed, you may feel it is unpleasant to discuss and you feel discomfort again.
An additional factor is giving up altogether. No matter how prepared you are for a discussion and how you apply what you know, yet somehow it may not seem to work out the way you expect. So, you start to feel like a failure and give up. Remember then that there is no failure in interacting with people. It just sometimes produces a different scenario from what you expect.
Lastly, you might even know all the details of a topic, yet you are not motivated enough to integrate them into the conversation. Keeping your knowledge to yourself will just make matters worse. Your courage must be developed little by little so start with even the slightest conversations.
There are people who may help you understand and conquer your phobia, such as a family member, a friend, a loved on or a professional. But start within your self to uncover the courage you need to make shyness help work for your own social anxiety. Peter Murphy is a peak performance expert. He recently produced a very popular free report: 10 Simple Steps to Developing Communication Confidence. Apply now because it is available only at: conversation startersWP Autoblog Software
