This is in response to last week’s article which posed Self-help books: hope or hype? (Literary Discourse Standard on Sunday August 10, 2014). For a start, I have written 10 books, and not five as mentioned in the article.
Self-help books are a source of hope to humanity. I am a product of self-help books and what changed my life is Steven Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People which I was given in 2007 when I was a volunteer in Rwanda.
