Self Help - Your First Choice

Self-Help

As the writer and editor for an online self-help superstore, you’d think I’d be able to answer a question such as, “What’s the best self help product for me?” in a moment. Sorry, but I just can’t. Because the question instantly begs a question of its own.

The Best Self-Help Products are what we live and breathe at The Happiness Superstore…

When you say, ‘What’s the best self-help product for me?’ what specifically do you mean by ‘me’?

Now I don’t want to get enmeshed in an existential argument, here. The nature of reality and identity will have to wait for another day. However, just think back over the last couple of days. Think about a situation when you were relaxed (taking a deep bath, maybe). Consider a situation when you were strained (your computer kept crashing). Think about a situation when you were annoyed (your PC still kept crashing and the systems support guys suggested you try switching it off and back on again). Think about a situation when you were in high spirits (drinking perfect coffee with loving friends). Consider all those situations: was it in actuality the same ‘me’ who occupied each of those little moments in time? Is the enraged ‘me’ the same as the contented ‘me’? For most of us, the answer is no. We aren’t the same character from one day to the next, and on our more chaotic days, we’re not even the same person from one minute to the next.

Walt Whitman put it best, I think, when he wrote ‘I contain multitudes’.

We all do. We all ‘contain multitudes’.

So, why then do you think (or even hope) there is a self-help product out there that is ideally suited to you, a best self help product?

Which ‘you’ do you mean, exactly?

Mercifully, there is a whole array of self-help books and motivating products out there, multitudes in fact. And not only could you find the best self-help product for you, you could find the best self-help product for all the’ yous’ you contain.
At The Happiness Superstore we’ll help you decide exactly what Best Self-Help Product for you is…

Good luck. To all of you.
