The Controversial, Best-Selling Self-Help Book You’ve Never Heard Of
And what it says about changing your life.
From blogs to books, podcasts to talk shows, lectures to retreats, there’s no shortage of words written, speeches given, or sold-out venues for authors, speakers and gurus advising us how to improve our lives.
Once relegated to small, dusty corners of bookstores, self-help expanded to become a stand-alone, expansive industry, accounting for 11 Billion Dollars in revenue last year alone.
Self-help became nuanced and multifaceted to include seminars, retreats, and numerous books topping bestseller lists in any given year. Authors in the genre expanded books into lectures, team building or career coaching services.
Among the most successful authors and titles include; Richard Carlson’s Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey, and Spencer Johnson’s Who Moved My Cheese, all of which have sold 20 to 25 million copies since being released. The aforementioned authors also became fixtures on the corporate speaking and lecture circuits.
While immensely successful, these authors and titles pale in comparison to a best seller you may have never heard of.
