All of my criticisms of self-help books are not criticisms of the people who read them.
Imagine diving headfirst into the world of self-help books, living by their advice for weeks at a time. That's exactly what Kristen Meinzer has been doing for years, and in this episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', she sits down with host Jay Shifman to share her experiences. Kristen, who co-hosts the popular 'By The Book Pod', has reviewed over 70 self-help books, dissecting their promises and pitfalls.
Her journey offers a unique lens into the self-help industry and its impact on mental health. Kristen opens up about the allure of self-help books and why so many people turn to them for guidance. But it's not all rosy; she also highlights the flaws in the self-determinism mythology that these books often promote. Ever wondered how self-help literature might be linked to conspiracy theories? Kristen dives into that too, making for a thought-provoking conversation.
The episode doesn’t shy away from the heavy stuff. Kristen talks about the importance of mourning and taking ownership of one's life, adding depth to the discussion. She even gives us a sneak peek into her future projects, hinting at more exciting work on the horizon. If you’re curious about the real impact of self-help books and want an honest take on their pros and cons, this episode is a must-listen.
