Self help books and other materials abound these days.  Though not everyone is convinced of the efficacy of these materials, there is a huge market for them.  I suppose that how effective they are depends on the person subscribing to the tenets presented in the materials.

If you are one to seek for info from self help materials, then a good blog to visit would be Malcolm Clarke – a blog on self-development and success in all areas of life. It is rife with posts on money, success, and other things that people seek for in life.  From dealing with shyness to philosophical thoughts to hope, one can find a lot of insights in this blog.  There are also links to products which might prove to be of interest to you.
