Self help?
Sunday, October 17, 2010
Friday night, while waiting for gek and yang heng, i went to kinokuniya to browse books and look at magazines. I stopped to pick up a book titled "making decisions". Then somehow the books placed next to it were, "When everything changes, change everything" ; " In a time of turmoil, a pathway to peace" ; " the happiness equation" ; " lonely?" ; and " still procrastinating?"
Other than all these above, there were all beauty books teaching how to makeup, style and such. Then i thought shit! did i walked to the self help section again? Lucky man... its the best seller section. Why are the best sellers self help books? Or rather why do self help books sell? Is it because they give us an idea that the answer we are looking for, the help we so desperately wanted is in that 500 odd pages? Come on~! i think sometimes, we already know the answer. Its just a matter of acceptance. We are all looking for an outlet to accept the fact.
