Books
“Now why do I do that? Why do I keep reading self-help books? Am I not “helped” enough by now? Have I not learned enough? I thought I believed that I have all the answers for my own self and my own life! If that’s true - why am I still looking for help?”
I realised that the reason that I read that kind of book is not to learn something new (though I regularly do learn new things). Because when I read them, I often find myself thinking “Yes, I agree with that” or “I knew that” and I regularly feel that it confirms what I already knew in some part of my being. Reading the inspiring, empowering books gives me permission to say to myself - “Yep, I knew that already.” It makes me feel good that I have worked out some stuff in my life and it resonates with other people (who have written about it already).
I like that. It feels good. So I will continue to read self-help, self-development books. I will continue to develop myself and acknowledge the great knowledge and insights I already have inside. And I will continue to find new and interesting information and insights in books written by others in the personal development arena.

I read and write my self development books because i love learning new things about myself and improving what I need to improve. Writing self development books, on the other hand, helps me fulfill my desire to share my success in such personal pursuit.
Great post!
