Each individual faces unique problems influenced by personal histories, values, beliefs, and culture. Providing a one-size-fits-all solution may not always be effective as there is value in experiencing and learning lessons firsthand. Relying too heavily on external guidance can hinder personal growth, leading to a lack of self-responsibility. The irony of the self-help industry lies in individuals seeking guidance on taking responsibility but ultimately depending on others to lead them, thereby defeating the purpose of self-improvement. Hence, giving advice and guiding others should be approached with caution and mindfulness towards their individual journey and growth.
