Self Help or Self Improvement?

Self-Help is what we identify with programs such as Alcoholics / Narcotics Anonymous, Double Trouble in Recovery Celebrate Recovery or to name a few. Self-help books and self-help programs start with the premise that there is a dysfunction or challenge with the individual that must be remedied. It is an approach from the point of weakness.

Self - Improvement is the approach often found in the Business section of yourBookstore. It often focuses on the achievement of the money. Programs like "The Secret" are in the homes of millions for the "hope," catapulted one day, "Bill Gates" rich! However, it comes from the position of "Strength". What is right, what the individual and how you a better person.

As you can see there are phenomenal benefits of both, as well as challenges. So, what is the best approach? My opinion is the best and can take theRest! Programs like AA work, but they have a culture that has created us vs. them. A ridiculous premise that alcoholism is not like the rest of the world the mantra. They base this idea on a verse of the text. "We have learned that we admit fully to our innermost self, that we were alcoholics had. This is the first step in recovery. The delusion that we are like other people, or presently may be, has to be broken . Alcoholics Anonymous (Big Book) S.30th

It is a dangerous belief system and is completely out of context, they assume that they differ over by others. Yes, when it comes to the consumption of alcohol or other mind-altering substances, we are done differently. In addition, people are human beings. It was found that 85% of adults report that they are from dysfunctional families! But the alcoholic / addict thinks that train is reserved for them!

Members of AA are often extremelyopinionated and safeguard their way of life. In fact, I could write a book "Comments" by all the negative opinions on my blogs or blogs from my friends, if they do not agree with us. The idea of an open mind is the message from the latest guru Reserved speakers on the circuit.

AA works and it works well! But many people suffer needlessly because they refuse from their own way. You have the "victim" mentality deeply brandedin their minds. They focus on fixing what is wrong rather than on what is right. The key to happiness is to focus on the positive. Having a purpose, maintaining hope and enjoying the spiritual journey we call life.

The self - improvement movement has serious flaws as well. Capitalization on the state of the economy to seize and "greed" emotion of the people is widespread. They say that "Sex" sold, works so well of money.More precisely, "Getting Rich" Building Wealth is the target. It is unfortunate that the message is distorted by the leadership of the apparently deliberate self-proclaimed experts.

The self - improvement approach works and it works well. He simply sends the wrong message, that life is all about your bank account. There are many self - improvement book, audio equipment and professionals who do not subscribe to MarketingApproach to their territory. The challenge is, the message is ignored because of the prevalence of the wealth mentality.

Tony Robbins is often thrown into the ring as a "motivational guru". However, study his teachings, and you will be methods of empowerment that you detect sound wall. "Awaken the Giant Within" a week to listen to me, focuses on neuro-associative conditioning, learning how we think and change it. The late Earl Nightingale believed to be"Grand Daddy" of the self - improvement movement carries the message of hope and strength to this day, in Audio's like "The Strangest Secret" and my favorite, "Lead the Field".

Combine the two approaches and you have the recipe to overcome addiction and live a healthy, happy, prosperous, clean and sober life that is my definition of "wealth". Addiction recovery methods have in the 21 Century to move.
