I don't wanna become better...?
A lot of people(atleast those who I know) , feel that self-help books aren't 'right'. They said that they don't believe in self-help books when I told them about GTD. There was a time when I didn't believe them either, or rather didn't know much about them. But now I firmly believe that personality, time management, and everything else about oneself are skills and can be developed just like all other skills. By practice and knowledge.
I don't know what the opinion actally is, but maybe people who don't 'believe' in self-help books feel that those skills can't be learnt out of books. Then may I ask why laboratory experiments in college are elaborated in books? And why there are tons of do-it-yourself books? My point is that there is absolutely nothing wrong in reading self-help books and it is in no way nerd-ish/geek-ish.

You can buy a bake cake book, but if it doesn't taste good, it's probably because you did something wrong. The goodness of the cake depends on you. The same thing goes for self-help books. But it can't teach anything 'new', because everyone knows something about those skills. And you can get as good as you want by following more and better from the book, or making your stuff, just as you can make your own cakes as good as you want(add wine, raisins,Mmm..)
