It’s so interesting to me that self-help books expound on the benefits of spirituality. In many ways, self-help books ar

ed an email that LaunchCode is offering a free BootCamp in Miami that is called CS50. Miami Dade College will host it. That was Harvard University’s introduction to the computer science course. They videotape their classrooms and LaunchCode uses that for their Bootcamp. That course is also available in edx and can be taken for free using the audit option.

Worse still, society teaches that the pursuit of happiness isn’t really a pursuit at all. It’s a commodity. Look at any advertisement (and they’re not hard to find). What are they selling? It’s not a product or service. Not really. It’s what that product or service can get you — they’re really selling us happiness.

Of the many mantras Kaiser puts forth in her book, I chose this one because it speaks to my particular fear — that I am inadequate. I’ve been socialized by a patriarchal society that even if I “give it my best”, my best might not be good enough.

And, like Sincero, I could have really used the help that self-help books provide. I’m glad she opened up about her skepticism early in her book. It made her writing more accessible to me because I could relate to her journey.

At the same time, there was all this stuff about my life that I desperately wanted to change, and had I been able to bulldoze through my holier-than-thouism, I could have really used some help around here.”

Reading Kaiser’s book, I gradually learned better. There’s nothing wrong with me. As she says, “I belong and fit in the world just as I am.” And as far as expressing my true self goes, that’s why I write every day.

This stuff works. Give it a try the next time you feel afraid and intimidated by a goal or experience. Take a breath and remind yourself that you’re actually feeling excitement. You may be surprised at how quickly you feel better.

In this get-happy-quick environment, I struggled with my self-esteem when I was unhappy all the time. If I can’t get happy here, where happiness is sold to us every second of the day, there must be something wrong with me.

This insight is brilliant. And incredibly helpful. Whenever I’m facing a big goal, I often tell my friends that I’m “excited and terrified”. When I’m setting goals that are aligned with my highest potential, it feels like falling in love. There’s a huge potential for risk and reward.

I know that this message is flawed, but that doesn’t make it any less powerful. Because I live in an “instant gratification” culture, I’ve been trained to doubt myself if it takes me any time at all to achieve my goals. For example, if I want to get rich, society sells plenty of “get rich quick” ideas.

Below are quotes from twelve of my favorite self-help books about how to be happy. I’ll share why I find these books — and these particular quotes — so helpful. I hope you find them helpful too.

In the rest of You Are a Badass, Sincero writes about the concepts and practices that she’s gleaned from the self-help world and how they have really made a difference in her life. By the time I’d read the whole book, I found myself relating to the happy side of Sincero’s story. If she could find happiness, I thought, maybe I can too.

I’m with Sincero on both points. I used to think self-help was for desperate people. And I had no idea it had anything to do with God. By the time I was thirty, I’d graduated from seminary with an M.A. in Religion and no desire to serve the church.

“The best advice I can give you is to take big, easy breaths when you feel fear. Feel the fear instead of pretending it’s not there. Celebrate it with a big breath, just the way you’d celebrate your birthday by taking a big breath and blowing out all the candles on your cake. Do that, and your fear turns into excitement.”

“What little I knew about the self-help/spiritual world I found to be unforgivably cheesy: it reeked of desperation, rah-rah churchiness and unwanted hugs from unappealing strangers. And don’t even get me started on how grouchy I used to be about God.
