Title: Help Me! Pdf
For years Journalist Marianne Power lined her bookshelves with dog-eared copies of definitive guides on how to live your best life, dipping in and out of self-help books when she needed them most. Then, one day, she woke up to find that the life she hoped for and the life she was living were worlds apart—and she set out to make some big changes.
Marianne decided to finally find out if her elusive “perfect existence”—the one without debt, anxiety, or hangover Netflix marathons, the one where she healthily bounced around town and met the cashmere-sweater-wearing man of her dreams—really did lie in the pages of our best known and acclaimed self help books. She vowed to test a book a month for one year, following its advice to the letter, taking what she hoped would be the surest path to a flawless new her. But as the months passed and Marianne’s reality was turned upside down, she found herself confronted with a different question: Self-help can change your life, but is it for the better?
With humor, audacity, disarming candor and unassuming wisdom, in Help Me Marianne Power plumbs the trials and tests of being a modern woman in a “have it all” culture, and what it really means to be our very best selves.
Funny, insightful memoir about exploring the self-help world I loved this account of Marianne Power's year (really about 16 months) about testing famous self-help books. Throughout the months, she focuses on one book and tries to thoroughly follow the advice in it, including well-known books such as The Secret, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, The Power of Now, Daring Greatly, and You Can Heal Your Life. Some books provide some insight and wake-up calls, while it isn't obvious that others work at all. Some conflict with each other, which can lead to a bit of a mess further down the line. We also see her go to various retreats and gatherings with some authors of the books, as well as a multitude of followers. Perhaps most importantly, we see how the books - and following the advice therein - affect Marianne's relationships with her friends and family.I found the author to be incredibly funny - she's someone you would want to be friends with if you met her in real life. I also thought she came to a lot of valuable insights into herself and how she addresses her problems - and on what was never really a "problem" to begin with. I also really enjoyed seeing someone attempt to put all of these books into action (she correctly notes that many people, including herself, read the books but never really try them out).Overall highly recommended if you have ever picked up a self-help book in your life. Even if you haven't, you would probably still enjoy this memoir!Help Me! Help Me! by Marianne Power is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in mid-December.The authoress herself, Marianne, is staving off anxiety, low motivation, and poor self-image, so she reads one common, yet classic self-help book per month for one year. These books tell her to embrace what she’s afraid of, wealth management, manifestation of what one desires, Manifestation: Extreme Edition, celestial protection, getting used to rejection, self-love, reducing stress, living in the moment, questioning one’s grievances, taking chances, and finding one’s ideal partner, yet not being of much help when she’s sick or depressed. While I was dissuaded from many of the books that Marianne read (but not from Marianne herself, since her plain-spoken and honest attitude had me cheering for her success), I see the most motivation (for me) to be had from The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.
