The Anti-Self-Help Empire

For over a century, the personal development, business strategy, and motivational literature industries have recycled a dangerous half-truth: that raw human desire, faith, positive thinking, or theatrical hustle can supersede the governing physical and economic invariants of reality.

Jeffrey Kyle Castor takes 65 of the canon's most influential books apart and rebuilds each one five ways. Every volume is free to read here in full; Kindle and paperback editions come from Castor Corporation.
