Written word holds its unique power of convincing people that what has been written in a book or in a newspaper is true – which is not always a case. Sometimes written word can be, unintentionally or not and for whatever reason – misleading or even harmful. When subject of enquiry is practical then the question becomes urgent.
Millions of people seek advice in various self-help books every day. In his book Oliver Burkeman takes his readers into a journey to the fertile land of self-help genre and tries to sieve good, genuinely helpful tips from bad ones. HELP!: How to Become Slightly Happier and Get a Bit More Done is an impressive work, written with personal passion, journalistic inquisitiveness and scientific scepticism and respect for experimental data. The position with no doubt worth to read – you may find information you need, and the book itself may set you free - if you happened tobe dependant from influence of some questionable self-help gurus and their ideas.
