In light of the cultural exhaustion and busyness in which we live, the negative effects to our lives, souls, and bodies are endless. That is obvious and everyone knows it! Unfortunatly everyone and their mom also seem to think they have the answer to the fulfilling and satisfying life you want in the newest best selling self-help book they offer. That is one thing that I have learned in doing some cover copy jobs for a publishing company.

Unfortunately, all of the answers that I have read so far are overly simplistic, unrealistic, and mostly just silly!

Basically everyone says the same exact thing but package it differently hoping to be the next big thing.

This leads me to the point of this whole thing: I HATE self-help books. They're pathetic and all they really achieve is making lots of money for the author. Yes, this even includes "Christian" self-help books (which is really a paradox in terms-if we were Christians we would understand that we CAN'T help ourselves and the fulfilling life that the world tells us we are seeking(comfort, wealth, stability, etc.) isn't the life God wants for us!)

This has just been a rant brought to you by Dustin. Grrrrr. Isn't that what blog are for?
