If you walk into a bookstore,you might see shelves of books labeled(标注) “self - help”. You may not know what these books are about. In fact,more and more people are turning to self - help books for advice these days. You can't imagine that sales of these books in the UK reached 3,000,000 in some years.
Self - help books are usually written by psychologists(心理学家),famous writers or successful businessmen. They teach you how to deal with problems in your life,for example,how to get on well with your classmates or friends,how to plan your time well or how to find happiness.
Paul Sweetman,the owner of City Books in the UK said that social problems might be the reason why more people are reading self - help books. “They come into the shop and look for ways to deal with these problems in their life,” Paul said. Besides,it seems to be easier for young readers to find their mistakes,especially those born after 2000. They want to im - prove themselves by reading self - help books.
Self - help books used to be something people laughed at. Many people didn't take chicken soup stories and“success theory(成功学)” books seriously. But now they are recognized by young people.
