19
A cashier at a bookstore told me I was buying too many self-help books, so I asked why she cared
She was maybe 19 and ringing up my stack of 4 self-help titles (you know, the ones with the big promises on the cover). She just flat out said 'do these actually help or do you just buy them?' I was a little embarrassed at first, but it made me think. I stopped buying them cold turkey for 3 months and started actually applying one thing from each book I already owned instead. Has anyone else gotten unsolicited feedback from a stranger that actually made you change a habit?

Four self-help books at once?

Are you actually reading all four at the same time or cycling through them? @stellablack it sounds like you might be juggling different topics which could actually work if they cover different areas of your life. I tried two once and ended up mixing up the advice from both books.
