I'm fairly positive you could read every single one of these and learn nothing of substance. You would have the very persistent illusion of thinking that you know a lot more about how things work, but in reality you'd be back to square one the moment you finish the last page of the last book.
Self-help books are for people who are addicted to the illusion of progress and self-mastery.
Do you really think these books have 0 information within them? I don't see anything wrong with self help books and I think they have a great deal of substance within them, but a book can never force you to act. That doesn't mean the information within them is wrong or anything.

within them? silly, like Calivno's 'If on a winter's night a traveler..' he has constructed his own novel from the fragment of the ambiguous titles presented in the image and finds it lacking.

Is this authentic van Gogh, or AI generated? He painted so much it's hard to know.

It's a harambe edit post based on the right panel of this deviantart triptych series of hayfield posts. I'm always surprised more people don't know the original artist of the famous hayfield triptych.

i think the problem with these is that the people who read them will aimlessly guzzle down any and all books with some vague aim of "self-improvement" rather than just reading a few books about specific issues. like me personally, i'm an alcoholic, so i read recovery literature and do find it helpful because it's specific to my problem. i could probably read every single one of the books in OP's pic and get less out of them than the least of 12-step books. on the other hand, say i had problems with socializing but no problems with drinking. i might benefit from reading dale carnegie, but no amount of recovery literature would ever help me.
what i'm getting at is that anyone who earnestly believes they should read all of those books and will improve their life by doing so is uhh, insane. moronic, even.
>Who moved my cheese
My boss gave us this to read. He was too crappy to actually put us on a course to improve productivity no matter how much we complained things weren't getting done, so we read this this.
I put in my notice to leave the week after citing this book's lesson.

What happens when you come across me and I just stare at you, absorbing the info and your soul?

Surely "know your market" has been published no less than 10 times in this book set.

I have read a few of them.
For starters, Steve Jobs bio isn't a self help book and really does change peoples lives
"How to Win Friends and Influence People" literally made me into an introvert for a few years.
Outliers is Outliers
Compound Effect is moderately useful.
I'm pretty sure that anyone who reads these books will become a better person.

Just reading them, no. Acting upon what's in them then probably.
