This week, Lisa and Misty review the first self-help book ever: Self-Help by Samuel Smiles. Originally published in 1859, this book is considered the origins of self-help as we know today. Scotsman Samuel Smiles, a failed doctor, businessman and journalist, wrote the book to reform government by making individuals of a nation better – assuming this would make the whole of civilization better. He self-published this book, and sold 20,000 copies within one year, leading to his celebrity status as a pundit. By the time of his death, the book had sold over a quarter of a million copies. We cover the thirteen chapters in this Self-Help book review podcast: Self-help – National and Individual Leaders of Industry – Inventors and Producers The Great Potters – Palissy, Böttgher, Wedgwood Application and Perseverance Helps and Opportunities – Scientific Pursuits Workers in Art Industry and the Peerage Energy and Courage Men of Business Money – Its Use and Abuse Self-Culture – Facilities and Difficulties Example – Models Character – The True Gentleman If you like what you’re hearing, you can buy the book here. We also reference an article on timeline.com in this episode. If you'd like, you can read it here. You can also listen to GHY's review of Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man by Steve Harvey here.  Finally, here's Misty's Halloween parody of the HGTV show Fixer Upper.  Don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe to Go Help Yourself!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

This week, Misty and Lisa review Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl. Viktor Emil Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor. He was also the founder of logotherapy (literally "healing through meaning")–– a meaning-centered school of psychotherapy, considered the Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy –– following the theories developed by Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler. He is the author of many books, but is most noted for his best-selling book Man's Search for Meaning based on his experiences in various Nazi concentration camps.  In this Man's Search for Meaning book review podcast, we cover something from each of the three sections in the book, including: Experiences in a Nazi Concentration Camp Logotherapy in a Nutshell Postscript 1984 - The Case for a Tragic Optimism If you'd like to read the book, you can purchase Man's Search for meaning here.  If you'd like to learn more about Viktor Frankl, you can visit his website here.  If you'd like to hear the other episodes of GHY we mention during this episode, you can listen to them here: Know My Name: A Memoir by Chanel Miller Minisode 086: Would you take back your struggles if you could?

This week, Lisa and Misty review How To Get A Man Without Getting Played: 29 Dating Secrets to Catch Mr. Right, Set Your Standards, And Eliminate Time Wasters by Bruce Bryans. We know. Can you believe we dipped our toes in this pool again? Just like our last review of his book, we can find nothing about this author, other than they are incredibly prolific and like to write lots of books about dating. From the author’s website: Bruce Bryans is a successful author with a passion for research into the dating and mating rituals of men and women. He doesn’t fashion himself as some all-knowing “relationship guru”, but instead prefers to provide insightful information based on the social and biological factors that bring men and women together for love and romance. In this How To Get A Man Without Getting Played book review podcast, we cover the following chapters: Introduction Chapter 1: How to Date a Man to Get His Love and Respect Chapter 2:  Power Dating Strategies for finding Mr. Right Chapter 3: The Beliefs and Standards of High-Value Women Chapter 4: How to Capture His Heart and Bring Out His Best Final Thoughts If you like what you're hearing, you can purchase the book here.  You can also visit the author's website here.  During this episode, we also mention the previous book we reviewed by Bruce Bryans. You can check out that book review here: Texts So Good He Can't Ignore: Sassy Texting Secrets for Attracting High-Quality Men (and Keeping the One You Want) by Bruce Bryans We also talk about our episode with author Gemma Hartley and her book Fed Up, where she discusses some of the ways rape culture is perpetuated.
