Description

Sham: How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless by Steve Salerno is a thought-provoking exposé that delves into the multibillion-dollar industry of self-help and actualization. Through extensive reporting and insider knowledge, Salerno reveals how this movement has infiltrated every aspect of American life, from home to workplace and schools. The self-help movement's core philosophies have had far-reaching consequences, often proving more damaging than beneficial. Salerno exposes the tactics used by self-help gurus to exploit customers, as well as the darker side of the industry's "empowering" message. With a critical eye, he examines the financial costs and societal impact of this phenomenon. This book offers a timely critique of an industry that has become ubiquitous in modern life. By shedding light on its inner workings and consequences, Salerno provides a valuable perspective on the self-help movement and its effects on American society.
