Self Help?

I was recently talking to a friend about some books I have been reading on the law of attraction and the power of knowing. (The one I just finished reading was The Aladin Factor by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen.) All of these books fall under the catergory of 'Self-Help.' He kept on referring to them as thus and for some reason I did not like how that sounded. Did these books help me? Sure. But what these authors really share with readers ideas that enlighten and expand the typical way of thinking. Evertime I put down one of these books, I feel like coming down from a high. Ideas and possibilities begin running around my head and the knowing that anything is possible is at the forefront of my thoughts. What if everybody started employing these ideas? Better yet, what if these ideas were taught in school? Now that would be powerful.

Sure they help myself but in the end they consist of revoluntionary thought. Now thats a good book.
