Self-Help Is Destroying Your Life. Here's Why…
Did you know that the self-help industry is projected to reach $82 billion in size by 2032? No less than 200 million people globally are actively consuming self-improvement books alone. And then they top it off with social media, online courses, and apps.
Now, if you’re one of those people, but you’re not yet a 100% happy, spiritual, multi-millionaire, then this post is for you.
I’ll give you six reasons why self-help content may be destroying your life. Some of these may be a bit controversial, but that doesn’t make them any less true.
Existential crisis: change your life in one second
Did you know that more than 30% of Millennials and Gen-Z people do not feel in control of their lives and are not satisfied with their mental health?
Funny enough, the same age groups are the main buyers of self-help content. And that industry has grown to be over $50 billion in 2024.
So, how can these two things coexist? Shouldn’t we all be happier, healthier, and in control of our lives with all that awesome information out there?
Not really. Because even the best self-help books can’t take you to a place where real change begins. And that place is your personal existential crisis. Only after you reach that, self-development content may start helping you.
So, in this post, I’ll prove that having an existential crisis is a good thing for you and show you how to get there faster, so you could kick-start your journey to the life you really want.
