The toxic world of "Self help"
#Psychology
Although I agree that most self help books, movies, and videos lead to a toxic lifestyle.
His premise that finishing reading, a self-help book leads to a large, dopamine spike is not actually true.

@corlin Hmm.
I personally get a huge dopamine blast from finishing most books, but I think that might be mostly a "me thing." #NeuroSpicy
Thank you for clarifying this; I wouldn't have known!
@tippitiwichet @corlin Oooof, I felt this.
I like your writing style BTW!
@aspecurian @corlin Thanks, I'm actually currently pretty smug at how I found a voice that suits me and will actually help me in my chosen field, of not being a therapist, but working as a staff member in a residential facility. I can be my true 80s goth/hippie type self and let the trauma all be seen, and it makes me more approachable. Speaking of everyone having narcissistic traits.
