Exploring the blend of self-help advice with ideological extremes, this chapter discusses the evolution of self-help narratives, the intertwining of right-wing politics in the self-help space, and the use of platforms like TikTok to spread ideas. It raises questions about left-wing influencers engaging with self-help figures and the quest for a left-wing alternative to prevailing self-improvement cultures.
