What is the self-help industry hiding?
The self-help industry ($13.5B/year) is built on repeat customers, not transformation. Most books repackage the same ideas. "Manifestation" has zero empirical support. The guru model creates dependency, not independence. What works: evidence-based CBT, structured habit formation, and measurable goal systems.
