Self Helpless by Eric Jay Sonnenschein
One unorthodox premise of Self-Helpless, the fourth book of essays by Eric Jay Sonnenschein, is that self-help books are written by the wrong people, experts who claim to have all the answers for others, rather than by individuals who have solved their own problems on their own. These essays focus on how to develop one's resources and overcome such universal obstacles as isolation, time wastage, physical discomfort and social awkwardness. Self-Helpless addresses such topics as self-reliance, risk-taking, self-belief, creativity, self-care and much more-with humor, insight and the authenticity of personal experience.Eric Jay Sonnenschein lives in New York. His previous works including Mad Nomad and Ad Nomad (novels), Making up for Lost Time, All Over the Place and Sartre in the Subway (essays).
