Wasted $40 on that self-help book everyone raves about
Ngl, I bought 'The Secret' after a friend swore it fixed her life. All it did was tell me to think positive for 200 pages. Wish I'd just watched a free YouTube video instead. Anyone else fall for a hyped book that did nothing?

I get that, but honestly the book worked for me when I actually tried the exercises instead of just reading them.

You said the exercises worked when you "actually tried them," but isn't the whole point of a book to be readable on its own? If the advice only clicks when you go out of your way to do extra work, then the book is failing at its main job. I think a good self-help book should hit you in the gut while you're lounging on the couch, not require a second job to get the benefit.
