Nowadays people are very independent and instead of running for help with every problem they face in and around the house, in the yard, shed, with machinery or with their own health, they rather refer to self-help books that are able to instruct them and help them to fix things and implement smoother running.
Whether it is building a house, fixing a wheel, plumbing problems and other household challenges, needlework, crochet, crafts, making and hanging up curtains, coloring your own hair, nail care and other ‘do it yourself’ possibilities, self-help books have been a lifesaver to many!
Using a self-help book instead of going for external help with all the safety guidelines listed therein gives a sense of achievement and accomplishment.
The emphasis is to do it personally and self-worth and a healthy ego are stimulated by the fact that with the help of a self-help book the seemingly impossible can really be accomplished!
