Message: I'm looking for contributions for a book about how reading self-help books didn't actually help you.
Have you ever drawn a wish star but nothing came true?
Did you write a cheque for a million pounds to yourself only to end up in more debt?
Have you read a self help diet book and put on more weight?
Started smoking more, while trying to give up?
Set out to find an ideal partner but find yourself still single?
Or lifecoached yourself using a self-help book only to end up more confused about your future?
I would like to hear your anecdotes - and please describe why you set out on your journey and what happened to you in as much detail as possible - about how following a self help book actually made things worse.
The book will have a humorous tone, and all contributors will be anonymous and your details confidential. Thank you for reading.
Please email your stories to lisalondon47513@hotmail.com
