Zitat des Tages über Selbsthilfe / Self-Help:

I never read a self-help book except for the Bible. Jon Heder

The thing I love most about going to a book store is the self-help section is the biggest section because Americans know we're screwed up. We know it. But we want to get better.

Hamza Yusuf

Sufi poetry is, in a sense, self-help poetry about how to live a decent life, how to deal with your mortality.

Mohsin Hamid

It's no accident that most self-help groups use 'anonymous' in their names; to Americans, the first step toward redemption is a ritual wiping out of the self, followed by the construction of a new one.

Walter Kirn

I've experienced several different healing methodologies over the years - counseling, self-help seminars, and I've read a lot - but none of them will work unless you really want to heal.

All summer, I read fiction because you must read for the pleasure and beauty of it, and not only for research. I don't read thrillers, romance or mystery, and I don't read self-help books because I don't believe in shortcuts and loopholes.

Isabel Allende

The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual.

Samuel Smiles

I'd been very partial to Malcolm X, particularly his self-help teachings.

Clarence Thomas

What I like about graduation speeches is that they're an opportunity for someone to make sense of their life and to impart that wisdom to someone else. It's like a sanctioned self-help moment.

Bruce Eric Kaplan

I do believe in self-help.

Clint Eastwood

I'm not a great believer in self-help.

Daniel Kahneman

How any person decides to emphasize strengths and mitigate weaknesses is something people have to figure out for themselves. I'm wary of the self-help literature that suggests there are certain rules. I'm very happy for people to look at my story and say it's possible to achieve many things.

Daniel Tammet

I'm not that into reading. If I'm gonna read, I'm gonna read some cool sci-fi book or something, not some stupid self-help book.

Jon Heder

I'm totally into new age and self-help books. I used to work in a bookstore and that's the section they gave me, and I got way into it. I just loved the power of positive thinking, letting yourself go.

Jason Mraz

So many self-help ideas are like meringue - you take a big bite, and there's nothing there.

Deborah Norville

Go to any bookstore, and you'll see thousands of books on etiquette, which suggests there's a lot of self-help going on. There is hope.

Letitia Baldrige

I'm really wary of self-help books.

Darin Strauss

I never read a self-help book except for the Bible.

Jon Heder

Self-help books are for the birds. Self-help groups are where it's at.

Janice Dickinson

I worked at a nursing home though high school... There's a lost appreciation for a generation that has so much to tell us when we're so full of self-help books and doctors on TV.

Bonnie Hunt

One reason why it has become harder to promote the beneficial side of emotions such as anger is that the moral vocabulary of good and bad has been replaced by the self-help lexicon of positive and negative thinking.

Julian Baggini

The Europeans had made two promises to the United States if Marshall Plan help was forthcoming. The first promise was maximum self-help on the part of every country; and second, maximum mutual aid.

When I look for self-help books for myself, I used to be scared that I was going to pick up a book that would depress me even more.

Vinny Guadagnino

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, 'Where's the self-help section?' She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

George Carlin

'Focusing' is no conventional repackaging of self-help wisdom. It is at once a manual and a philosophy. It talks about the body's wisdom, the steps of the focusing technique, how to discover the richness in others by learning to listen.

Marilyn Ferguson

The self-help section of national bookstore chains in America is one of the largest sections. In a way, it's nothing new, and in another way, very new. People have always searched for answers; that's why we have religion. People have always been seeking some relief from their own mortality.

Holly Hunter

A perfect poem you can't pin down and say, 'This is exactly what it meant to me.' It's not a self-help manual.

Alice McDermott

I didn't intend 'Hector' to be a self-help book when I first started writing. I wrote it as a little tale about a psychiatrist, like me, who sets off around the world in order to discover the vital ingredients for happiness.

Francois Lelord

I dislike the word 'self-help.' Self-awareness, yes, but not self-help.

Deepak Chopra

I go to a lot of self-help groups in the day, and then I can sleep pretty well at night.

Andy Biersack

Even though it doesn't look like it, I run. On a treadmill. And I bounce around to all the songs on my iPod - the Pixies, Wagner, Richard and Linda Thompson, even books on tape. Just not self-help ones.

Bill Hader

Everything I've ever taught in terms of self-help boils down to this - I cannot believe people keep paying me to say this - if something feels really good for you, you might want to do it. And if it feels really horrible, you might want to consider not doing it. Thank you, give me my $150.

Martha Beck

I think that there is a tragic misfit at the core of me, and I've just done a lot of work on myself. I love a good self-help book; I've read a ton of them. I love self-help seminars and therapy and all that.

Jenna Fischer

My favorite books are psychology, self-help, and I'm fascinated by Jung, by dream work.

Laura Dern
