Self-help, or the use of books as a form of personal development and growth, is a great way to improve emotional and psychological well-being. Self-help books can provide you with strategies for managing a wide variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism, and can help you to feel more in control of your life. They can also help you learn new life skills such as assertiveness and problem solving.
