According to http://www.publishingperspectives.com a short-history of self-help, The worlds Bestselling Genre by Jessica Lamb-shapiro, self help has been around for thoushands of years. The earliest of self-help books was an Ancient Egyptian genre called “Sebayt” an instructional read on life (“Sebayt” means “teaching”). A letter from father to son advising him with help on how to live. The Maxims of Prahotep, written circa 2800 BC., advocated moral behavior and self-control. And theres always the Bible. Although the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristottle is given a lot of credit for the start of self-improvment. The first self-help book was published in 1859. Written by Samuel Smiles. (1812-1904*) The first self-conciously personal-development “self-help” book titled Self Help. Simple and to the point. Now it just doesn’t get better than that. Who better to have started our journey of healing through literature to find your happy than someone with the name smiles. Thank you Samuel for teaching us we can learn to smile. I have compiled a list of 8 books from couples to youth and a little in between. Two of which i have personally done myself and will be giving away next week.
