When ABC News interviewed me for their upcoming show on the pros and cons of positive thinking and the Law of Attraction, one of their questions was, "Why are there so many self-help books?"
Apparently a published skeptic felt that if self-help books really worked, we wouldn't need so many of them.
Does that make sense to you?
Consider -
With all the cookbooks in the world, there will always be more published, guaranteed. With all the books on psychology, or sales, or aviation, or pottery, or martial arts, or law, or religion, or marketing, or sports, or politics, or parenting, or skepticism, or - well, name any category - there will always be more books.
That doesn't mean there's a problem with the books already published. It doesn't mean there's a problem with the fields themselves, either. It means people are still growing and learning, discovering and sharing.
But somehow with self-help, it's not accepted.
I find that odd.
I've spent most of the day reading Richard Wiseman's book, 59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot. It's mis-titled, as you can't read much of it in 59 seconds. Still, it's an excellent book. It's research-based self-help. It's packed with study after study proving or disproving concepts taught in the self-help movement. You should read it.
Side note: It's interesting that scientific studies in the filed of psychology don't usually come to any definitive conclusions. In other words, the studies indicate results may "suggest" a particular pattern or insight, but they don't guarantee it. Even the so-called Law of Reciprocity can't be guaranteed to work all the time. When you give something to someone, it's no guarantee they'll give you anything in return. Still, authors call it a "law" when they don't allow any leeway for the Law of Attraction. In short, read the psychological studies as entertainment but test their conclusions in your own life. After all, a different study done with a different audience may indicate a different result. Or so it appears to suggest.
But isn't 59 Seconds yet another self-help book?
Since it has the blessing of science behind it, it tends to be "allowed" as a self-help book, even by the skeptics.
Do you see the illogical nature of this?
I love self-help and success literature. If it weren't for those books, and my taking action on what I read, I'd still be unknown, unpublished and unhappy.
One night I watched a documentary on happiness. An author being interviewed (I don't recall his name) said over 70% of the people who change on their own, without therapy or a coach, do so because of a self-help book.
When celebrity fitness model Jennifer Nicole Lee visited me for the Rolls-Royce Phantom Mastermind (which ABC News filmed) she asked me, "How did you get into self-help?"
I replied, "Because I needed help."
I told ABC News that neither I nor any self-help author I know set out to write more than one book on self-help. It's the readers who ask for them. It's the market that demands more. We simply supply what they request.
When I wrote The Attractor Factor, I never considered I'd write The Key or Zero Limits after it. Neither was in my mind.
And lord knows I never intended to write my recent book, Attract Money Now. That came as a result of my seeing so many people struggling. I even decided to give the digital version of the book away, for free, to help them.
I'm proud to be a self-help author. I don't plan to write any more books, but I never thought I'd be the author of fifty books, either. (Yes, fifty.)
The point: When you need help, consider books. Yes, there are plenty to choose from. But that's why restaurants have more than one special. Each person is different. Each desires and feels best with a particular approach.
Books that have helped me include -
The Magic of Believing
Think and Grow Rich
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Why Is This Happening to Me…Again?
The Dark Side of the Light Chasers
What self-help books have made a difference in your life?
Leave a comment and let me know.
PS - Studies suggest that if you read my new book, Attract Money Now, you'll learn how to use the Law of Attraction to attract something you might need in your life: money.

Thinking About A Diet - Consider The Blood Type B Diet
There is no danger in reading about diets. But please, do not undertake any diet without discussing its pros and cons with a qualified health care professional. You can really harm yourself if you don't take proper precautions. And don't expect to lose pound after pound quickly and effortlessly. Keeping these precautions in mind you are now ready to consider the Blood Type B Diet.
The Blood Type B Diet is one of a group of diets that depend on the individual's blood type. These four related diets are all said to promote weight loss, eliminate toxins and fat from the organism, fight against some illnesses, and slow the aging process. Blood type B, in which B stands for barbarian, probably originated in the Himalayas. Most people with this blood type are located in that general area. Here are some of the diet principles.
You may eat a wide variety of foods. For example, among the various meats only chicken should not be eaten. Try to avoid nuts and grains. Eat pasta, corn, and buckwheat in moderation. Make sure to eat at least one piece of fruit a day. This diet comes with a long list of foods to eat and foods to avoid, so you will need a book. Even among the favored food groups such as fish and vegetables there are plenty of items to avoid. For example, stay away from crustaceans, shellfish, anchovies, eel, bass, barracuda, smoked salmon, and frogs. Good choices include fatty fish and white fish. You should probably take magnesium supplements, perhaps 500 mg daily, but first check with your heath care professional before you do so. Three times a week perform strenuous exercise, which increases your cardio-vascular capabilities. Relax with meditation, yoga, or tai chi twice a week.
Some advantages of the Blood Type B Diet include improving the state of your cells and immune system. Its foods are varied and healthy. This diet is said to help in the fight against aging, cardio-vascular illnesses, some cancers, and diabetes. Be sure to take these claims with a grain of salt. Its disadvantages include the need for food supplements, and of course the problem of preparing food for a family whose members have different blood types.
Here is a sample menu: For breakfast eat a bowl of rice bran cereal with skim milk, a banana and a glass of grape juice. At lunch enjoy a Greek salad and a small cluster of grapes. Your mid-afternoon snack is a skim milk yogurt, the juice of one banana, and a cup of green tea. For supper you may eat a dish of beets and turkey meatballs.
A quick look at the Amazon web site revealed several diet books, cookbooks, and food lists dedicated to the Blood Type B Diet. Both paper and electronic versions are available.

Diet Menus And Plans - Reviewing The California Diet
The Sonoma Diet, often called the California Diet,was inspired by the eating habits of people living near the Mediterranean and in Sonoma County. Most of the time you'll be eating vegetables and vegetable products. As you may know, Sonoma County, California is serious wine country, and this diet suggests that you enjoy a glass of wine with your meals. The Sonoma Diet is divided into three phases.
The diet's first phase lasts for only ten days. During this initial `phase you will change your eating habits and go for more healthy nutrition, eat less, reduce your sugar dependence, and start physical exercise. Fruits, wine, and second helpings are forbidden during this phase. During the second phase, one that lasts until you have attained your desired weight, your food choices are widely expanded. For example, fruits and wine are now permitted. The grapes in wine have an antioxidant effect, which some people feel is good for your heart health. However, if you choose not to drink wine, you may enjoy unfermented grapes. The third phase is the life-long maintenance phase. During this phase continue to avoid foods such as fatty meat, fruit juice, potatoes, whole milk, hydrogenated fats, and refined cereals. You definitely require a book to master the extensive list of suggested foods and forbidden ones.
A major advantage of the Sonoma Diet is the broad variety of permitted foods. This diet will expand many dieters' food horizons. It is said to be quite efficient in the long term. And many people appreciate the fact that wine is permitted, needless to say in moderate quantiites. An important disadvantage of this diet is the constant need to reference portion sizes. Sugar addicts may find it difficult to deal with the first phase of this diet.
Here is a sample menu: For breakfast enjoy 2 fried eggs with a slice of whole grain bread and a cup of tea or coffee. Lunch time means a Salade Nicoise with tuna fish and half a pita. For supper two skewers of beef and bell peppers along with a spinach salad. Your evening snack is 20 grams (about two thirds of an ounce) of cheese accompanied by a cup of bell peppers cut into thin strips.
A quick glance at the Amazon web site revealed a few Sonoma Diet books and Sonoma Diet cookbooks. I found no appropriate entries for the Califormia Diet.

How to Treat People
Copyright (c) 2013 Joe Vitale
A reader watched my DVD, Humbug, and emailed me this question:
"Was there one point in your life that was the turn around? I often ask people who've obviously hitched themselves to a Saturn 5 rocket the same question."
I get that question a lot.
I've been thinking about it long and hard.
I know that taking on the attitude that anything is possible is part of the answer. So is knowing the Law of Attraction and the idea that getting clear leads to preferred results. So is always saying yes to life. And so is the idea of being ruthlessly honest about your desires.
But those are mindsets I've developed over time. They don't answer the question about the single event that changed my life.
The thing is, there's no "one point" where everything shifted for me. It was more a series of defining moments, some more memorable than others. For example:
Landing the book deal to write The AMA Complete Guide to Small Business Advertising for the American Marketing Association back in 1993, was a marker for me. I wasn't paid much money (almost none) but it was my first book deal with a traditional publisher and the project made me feel accomplished and important. It also got me more clients and more speaking engagements. (I still love the book and use it myself, though sadly it's now out of print. Some of it ended up in my book, Hypnotic Writing .)
Recording my program, The Power of Outrageous Marketing for Nightingale-Conant in 1997, was another turning point for me, one I had longed to have for over ten years. People who knew that company and their wonderful products began to treat me like I was a deity in the marketing world. That also influenced my own sense of value. (That's also when I raised my fees. ) The program still sells like crazy today, and I'm still very proud of it. (One of my favorite sections is where I stage an interview with the great circus showman and master marketer, P.T. Barnum.)
Certain people helped me step up to a new level, as well.
Paul Hartunian changed my life. This publicity genius who once sold the Brooklyn Bridge as a PR stunt and got on Johnny Carson for it, once spent three hours over dinner in Houston telling me how to change my business. I took notes. I acted. Paul's giving was a defining moment in my career. I'll never forget him. He's one of my heros.
Mandy Evans has been a "miracles coach" in my life for more than twenty years. This wonderful author of such books as Travelling Free has always been only a phone call away. Whenever I feel stuck and ready for the next level, I call her. I love her. She helps me get clear .
Bob Proctor -- a living legend in the self-help movement -- changed my life when he politely nudged me to publish the little book I was fearful about releasing, Spiritual Marketing. That book became an Amazon bestseller twice, got me into The New York Times, and led to my rewriting it and seeing J. Wiley publish it as the now long running classic, The Attractor Factor. And of course that book got me into the movie The Secret, which led to my being on Larry King, eXtra TV, CNN, CNBC, ABC, Time, Newsweek and…well, you get the idea.
Obviously, there's no one event that transformed me.
If you want to know more, I've written about my journey through life in such books as Adventures Within. It reveals other defining moments and the people who triggered them for me.
I really wish there was a simple answer to the question of what was my turning point moment, so we could both learn from it. But what may be better is to assume every moment is your turn around one, and act from that perspective. Life would then take on a glow .
Backed into a corner, and forced to say something was the one thing that changed my career, I'd give credit to the Internet.
I began as an Internet skeptic in the early 1990s. I didn't believe all the hype about gold in cyberspace.
I was wrong.
I later wrote one of the first books about online marketing (CyberWriting).
And later, when Mark Joyner urged me to let him release my first e-book (Hypnotic Writing ), I began to taste fame and fortune.
So I have to give credit to being active online as a turning point in my career. (Note I said active online. I was and am busy creating and promoting products, not waiting for the world to come to my door.) The Internet let me take what I was doing locally and distribute it to the world.
But, as you can see, it was one of many defining moments.
Maybe the best way to wrap this up is with the following story:
I'm hearing from people from my past who saw the movie The Secret and then searched for me online. When they get to my main site , they write me and ask something like, "Are you the same J.V. I worked with thirty years ago?"
One gent did that a while back. Turns out we had worked at Exxon together long, long ago.
He saw me on Larry King and couldn't believe my level of success. He wrote to me saying, "I wish I had known what a gem I was hanging around back then."
I thought, what if each of us treated each other like we were gems already -- just unrecognized and maybe unpolished.
Wouldn't that single change of perspective make every moment of our lives a turning point?
As Goethe wrote, "Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them become what they are capable of being."
PS -- A way to get a turning point moment for yourself is through Miracles Coaching. I believe that trained mentors can help you leap to the next level, and I still employ them for myself today. Expect miracles. And remember, every moment counts.

Various Do's and Dont's in Managing People
Management is a vital tool in the workplace. It can be learned mainly through proper tutoring and training. However, managers can learn more while on the job and practical scenarios. Effective management of subordinates originates from the appropriate alignment of the work force with the objectives and vision of the corporate organization. The faith and commitment of employees in management also need to be developed. Likewise, it is crucial to gain knowledge of the various do's and don'ts in management.
Here are some of them:
Do's:
See to it that you do what you pronounce and identify a specific timeframe for achieving this target. You have to be answerable for the promises you make along with the rest of your colleagues.
Be quick to respond by answering emails and retuning calls of bosses, co-workers, clients, and suppliers. Managers must respond to the calls of team members promptly.
Support your staff and show this publicly. Do not reveal your differences of opinion and dissatisfaction. These should be communicated privately to prevent loss of morale. Never reproach your people for any shortcomings.
Admit your blunders and take the blame for such omissions.
Recognize and commend your group even for the smallest achievements.
Do ask questions and listen to things that co-workers have to say. Take time out to grin and laugh sincerely.
Don'ts:
Do not set up rules every time someone commits mistakes. Refrain from over-reacting to potential miscalculations. Instead, initiate a dialogue about the error, the problems this produced and prospective solutions.
Do not tell a lie. At the same time, avoid twisting the truth, making things up or holding back information even if your reasons are good. Maintain transparency at all times because peers will not trust you by being vague. Share your concerns with the right persons and talk about the situation with your staff.
Do not take cover at the back of company policies. Stand by rules that make sense and explain the benefits and why you are supporting the particular guideline.
Do not ask for the impossible and force your employees to perform something which is uncalled for. Make resources available to team members and indicate your support for everybody.
Do not intimidate other workers because this is an indication of inferior leadership. The competent manager knows how to build the team and get the commitment of peers. Tak about accountabilities and effects without pressuring other people.
