Sham: How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless by Steve Salerno EPUB

Self-help: To millions of Americans it seems like a godsend. To many others it seems like a joke. But as investigative reporter Steve Salerno reveals in this groundbreaking book, it's neither - in fact it's much worse than a joke. Going deep inside the Self-Help and Actualization Movement (fittingly, the words form the acronym "SHAM"), Salerno offers the first serious exposé of this multibillion-dollar industry and the real damage it is doing - not just to its paying customers, but to all of American society.

Based on the author's extensive reporting - and the inside look at the industry he got while working at a leading "lifestyle" publisher - Sham shows how thinly credentialed "experts" now dispense advice on everything from mental health to relationships to diet to personal finance to business strategy. Americans spend upward of $8 billion every year on self-help programs and products. And those staggering financial costs are actually the least of our worries.

Sham demonstrates how the self-help movement's core philosophies have infected virtually every aspect of American life - the home, the workplace, the schools, and more. And Salerno exposes the downside of being uplifted, showing how the "empowering" message that dominates self-help today proves just as damaging as the blame-shifting rhetoric of self-help's "Recovery" movement.
