Book Synopsis Self-Help Books by : Sandra K. Dolby
Download or read book Self-Help Books written by Sandra K. Dolby. This book was released on 2010-10-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding instead of lamenting the popularity of self-help books Based on a reading of more than three hundred self-help books, Sandra K. Dolby examines this remarkably popular genre to define "self-help" in a way that's compelling to academics and lay readers alike. Self-Help Books also offers an interpretation of why these books are so popular, arguing that they continue the well-established American penchant for self-education, they articulate problems of daily life and their supposed solutions, and that they present their content in a form and style that is accessible rather than arcane. Using tools associated with folklore studies, Dolby then examines how the genre makes use of stories, aphorisms, and a worldview that is at once traditional and contemporary. The overarching premise of the study is that self-help books, much like fairy tales, take traditional materials, especially stories and ideas, and recast them into extended essays that people happily read, think about, try to apply, and then set aside when a new embodiment of the genre comes along.

Book Synopsis My Life with Bob by : Pamela Paul
Download or read book My Life with Bob written by Pamela Paul. This book was released on 2017-05-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For twenty-eight years, Pamela Paul has been keeping a diary that records the books she reads, rather than the life she leads. Or does it? Over time, it's become clear that this Book of Books, or Bob, as she calls him, tells a much bigger story. For Paul, as for many readers, books reflect her inner life--her fantasies and hopes, her dreams and ideas. And her life, in turn, influences which books she chooses, whether for solace or escape, diversion or self-reflection, information or entertainment. My Life with Bob isn't about what's in those books; it's about the relationship between books and readers"--

Book Synopsis How to Keep Them Reading by : Ebony Harris
Download or read book How to Keep Them Reading written by Ebony Harris. This book was released on 2021-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's something about words that have the power to attract. With so many new books on the market, how can you keep readers returning? There are so many books on how to write a book. It's easy to get confused as to which one is best for you. In this book, I give readers a proven formula to help individuals write an engaging book. They have a saying, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. It can apply to writing. Many authors who start writing don't finish. After building the soon-to-be author up with the knowledge, they need to write their books. We help them find their anchor to hold on to when a difficulty arises, tempting them to throw in the towel. We deal with self-limiting beliefs holding them back from following through, and we talk about the writer positioning themselves for the inspiration that comes to the ready writer. How To Keep Them Reading is an excellent guide to the individual looking to write a nonfiction book that will captivate and engage their audience.
