Idk, I have found self help helpful in my life. I read Power of Positive Thinking (the oldie) when I was 19 and loved it. It indeed gave me some "fight." However, when I'm feeling really down it can turn 360 degrees into a way to put myself down for not trying hard enough or not being able to fix it on my own (ie. just cheer up). Hope you can take all of the good positive stuff away Shaggy, but never feel like you aren't trying hard enough. That's all. That's my own experience, please ignore this post if it isn't helpful to you...
