I got out of the self-help junkie stage mostly because I got so fed up with myself and how I was taking very little action and using almost none of the useful stuff I had learned. It didnīt last that many months though, so I am grateful for that.
Though, I have been thinking if it is possible to wake someone up from a self-help junkie stage through products/methods that are a bit like a magic pill.
By that I mean stuff like paraliminals (that I feel give a great boost that can break you out of just sitting around reading and create momentum), EFT/Sedona Method (I havenīt used them much myself but from what I have read they are easy to learn, use and get good results with). And maybe something by Eckhart Tolle (his Flowering of Conciousness DVD had a very real and immediate affect on me is it allowed me realise how I could make negative feelings dissipate by allowing them. It also had a great impact in teaching me how to stay in the now. Being in the now is pretty awesome
)
Perhaps such products could let the self-help junkie to break through his/her fear - or whatever is holding him/her back - and taking more action?
