Self-help

Self-help refers to the practice of improving oneself without the direct assistance of professionals. It encompasses a wide range of activities, resources, and approaches individuals utilize to enhance their personal development, mental health, emotional well-being, and life skills. Self-help often includes reading books, attending workshops, participating in support groups, and engaging with various media such as podcasts and online courses. The underlying principle is that individuals take initiative and responsibility for their own growth and problem-solving, often focusing on personal issues like stress management, relationship enhancement, and career advancement. The self-help movement encourages empowerment, self-awareness, and the pursuit of goals, promoting the idea that individuals can achieve positive change through their own efforts and motivations.
