I'm sure if there is a problem of any ilk, you are the 'go to' person, so, reading all those self-help books will always be an asset, no matter what.

Comment from J. P. Olesen
Hi, Elizabeth,
Where the devil is Schadenfreude and why ain't you goin' there? ;)
Seriously, though, nicely done and more than a little humorous. Writing like this takes a lot more effort than people realize. Well done. Love the title, too!
You also gotta have a lotta guts to do comedy these days--it ain't safe. Too many folks have lost (if they ever had one) their sense of humor. I suspect people who dislike humor the most are terrified it may be turned on them, unt zass iss verboten!
Keep bein' a fly in the ointment, a monkey in the wrench, and a pain in the azz.
Best,
J. P.

I had fun conjuring these titles! Love your witty review--stop by anytime. And welcome to StoryLand--I read your powerful "euthanasia" flash---you may recall my review comments re my father.

Of course I do. It was tragic.

I imagine it is interesting to read self help books that do apply to oneself. It takes the reader into another world they are not familiar with. You have written a humorous essay with a unique theme.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Liz.
Everyone should have a goal of helping themselves become a better person.
I see that you have and eclectic collection of self-help materials. I've searched far and near but it doesn't appear that there is a book to help me with my foibles so I keep them in a handcart that I pull along with me. I've always said, never let an uncomfortable situation go to waste, to modify a quote by Rahm Emanuel.

Comment from Ric Myworld
Well, at least you will know what to avoid should you ever consider going there. I guess, I don't have an addictive personality, as you don't seem to have either. Someone did once ask me if I ever thought I might be an alcoholic. But, I assured them I wasn't, since an alcoholic needs help, I just needed another freaking drink. Of course, that was 30 years ago, now it's water, coffee, or tea for me. :-) Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend!

Comment from strandregs
Thank you for your generosity. Dear Liz
Listening to vivaldy
Very appropriate music for your poem.
Like sputtering spikes off the back of an agrieved Narcissist.
Which you delicately ommitted.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
This is funny and it took to an interesting thought, my ADHD kicked in. LOL TV commercials about medicine. As I watch, I realize how wonderful I would feel having taken that medicine because all the people look like they're having the perfect life, while the announcer reads off the warnings. LOL Anyway, I don't have any of those diseases so I'm safe. Thank you for sharing.

I had fun conjuring these titles! Last year I wrote a satire piece about those drug ads--I conjured the drug name: "Atyorperil."
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Very funny and well-written analysis of those self-help books. There was a time I had my own collection and found the best use for them was if I need one to balance a table leg.
Thank you for the laugh.
Regards,
Mary

You're so funny. You read any good books on the THAT/WHICH controversy lately? Thanks for using a word which I had to looks up. That's a good one. It remindes me of why I never had any desire to learn German.

Comment from Begin Again
good morning, Liz....
So we are to ponder self-help today... Since I find myself already going down for the third gasp (at most times) I can't imagine myself throwing out the life saving device as well. LOL At least that is the excuse I shall use why I flip through the pages of my Keto Made Easy, Lose Twenty Pounds in a Week, or "It's Not Your Fault Your Fat." How can one read and completely understand with coffee in one hand and a cupcake in the other? Just messing with you of course... That's how I get my day started at 5AM... laughing with you!
Smiles, Carol
