Ep. 37 - Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer on Do Self-Help Books Help?

Self-help books: How helpful are they? Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer--co-hosts of the highly acclaimed By The Book podcast and co-authors of How to Be Fine: What We Learned from Living by the Rules of 50 Self-Help Books--pull up their handcrafted (not really) armchairs to discuss with Eve and Julie the keys to picking the right self-help book, the reality of diversity (or lack thereof) within the genre, and the importance of self-awareness for both the author and the reader. They even play a round of the Glad Game, which we’re so glad you’ll get to hear! Find us on Twitter (@bookdreamspod) and Instagram (@bookdreamspodcast), or email us at [email protected].
